PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mari Ore (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fenton Meeks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ore comes to the cage accompanied by The Pack - My Girl Got A Girl Too. Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. Mari Ore looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
