[edit] Training in MMA
Sims met Mark Coleman before his fight with Ricardo Morais at PRIDE 8 and started training to compete in MMA. He originally wanted to be a pro wrestler, but got into MMA with Coleman.[1]
[edit] UFC career
In 2003 Sims fought a very controversial fight against Frank Mir (a Heavyweight Contender) at UFC 43 In the First round at 2:55 Sims got up while Mir was on his back, against the fence and proceeded to stomp on Mir's head several times while holding the fence for extra balance. The fight was stopped and Sims was disqualified.
In 2004 at UFC 46 Sims had a rematch with Mir who appeared to have easily won the first round with a failed arm triangle attempt. During the second round it was very apparent that both fighters were very fatigued and near the end of the second round Mir hit Sims with knee strikes to the face and then punches to knock Sims out.
Sims fought again in the UFC at the UFC 47 against Mike Kyle. Kyle Dominated the entire First round and knocked Sims out at 4:59 of the first round. Sims protested after the fight that Kyle had bitten him on the chest.[2]
