Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Brad Norvell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Conway (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mark Conway struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
