Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hannibal Barca (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Danny White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barca kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Carthage. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
