Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Conor Greaves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Sims (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Greaves comes to the cage accompanied by Lil Wayne - The Sky Is The Limit. Conor Greaves had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.8lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Conor Greaves looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
