Ore comes to the cage accompanied by The Pack - My Girl Got A Girl Too. Mari Ore had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.1lbs, 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.
