Champion Nathan Greyson ruled out of Cage Warriors 99 over ‘weight’ issues

Cage Warriors flyweight champion Nathan Greyson’s first title defense against Blaine O’Driscoll has been pulled from Cage Warriors 99, which takes place this Saturday in Colchester, England.

Cage Warriors president Grahan Boylan revealed the news via Twitter on Wednesday. According to Boylan, the Team Titan fighter stated that he would not be able to make the flyweight limit just two days before the official weigh-in.

The announcement came on the back of comments Greyson made to MMA Fighting’s Eurobash podcast regarding the lack of incentive to make the flyweight limit following the news of UFC’s impending flyweight purge.
