WEC 46: Varner vs. Henderson was a mixed martial arts event held by World Extreme Cagefighting on January 10, 2010. It took place at the ARCO Arena in Sacramento, California.

Mark Hominick was scheduled to face Yves Jabouin on this card, but Jabouin has been forced off the card with an injury. Jabouin was replaced by WEC newcomer Bryan Caraway. Hominick and Jabouin would later face off at WEC 49 on June 20, 2010, with Hominick winning via TKO.

Wagnney Fabiano was scheduled to fight Frank Gomez at this event, however Gomez withdrew with an undisclosed injury and was replaced by Clint Godfrey. The Fabiano/Gomez bout was also rescheduled for WEC 49, where Fabiano won by unanimous decision.

Bantamweight contests pitting Eddie Wineland against Rafael Rebello and WEC newcomer George Roop against the returning Jesse Moreng were both scratched from this card after Rebello and Moreng both withdrew from the event. Rather than find new opponents, Wineland and Roop were instead matched up against each other on this card.

A lightweight bout between Dave Jansen and Bendy Casimir was once linked to this event, though it was later confirmed that Jansen would instead be facing Kamal Shalorus.

This was the last WEC card to feature former UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir on color commentary. He was officially replaced in April 2010 by Stephan Bonnar, who had filled in for Mir at WEC 47 due to training commitments.
