UFC President Dana White to appear on A&E tomorrow

August 26, 2008 by Sam Caplan  

UFC President Dana White will be making a special appearance on A&E’s “Mindfreak” television program Wednesday night at 10 p.m. ET.

“Mindfreak” is hosted by “mentalist” Criss Angel, who has been a fixture the past several years at UFC events in Las Vegas. He’s also made the tabloids for allegedly dating the likes of Cameron Diaz and Pamela Anderson (although she denies it).

A promo for the show states that “With the use of a blindfold, a knife, and a deck of cards, Criss attempts to teach UFC President Dana White first-hand how to do a prediction of his own. Can Dana pull off a little magic with the help of the Mindfreak?”

There’s no word as to whether Angel’s magic will aid White in helping Randy Couture suddenly reappear in the UFC’s heavyweight division or if he could help make Tito Ortiz vanish for good.

    What does this have to do with MMA? Am I supposed to care?

    Is Criss Angel trying to look like Kimbo Slice?

    “What does this have to do with MMA? Am I supposed to care?”
    I’m pretty sure Dana White is involved in MMA somehow. And I believe he’s trying to get that magician to make his hair come back from the dead.

    Dana gets a bad rap. But no matter, he’s elevated this sport and made himself a bundle of cash. Good for him and F the haters. It’s the American Dream.

    Dana will next appear on A&E’s “Intervention” when Quintin Rampage Jackson is the focus of an intervention.

    ouch, Goof, that was harsh!

    But seriously, Criss Angel!? I don’t understand how camera tricks/editing and fake onlookers can make you an ‘illusionist’. I’ve got more respect for a dude that can do a few tricks on a street corner with nothing more than a deck of cards.

    Dude, he’s not and ‘illusionist’, he’s a mindfreak. There’s a big difference.

    Goofmonkey That was a great comment thanks for the laugh !!

    Next on Mindfreak, Criss Angel removes Dana White’s head from Chuck Liddel’s ass

    Did anyone else know that Criss Angel is 40 FREAKIN’ YEARS OLD?!?

    Whatever jackassery he does aside, he looks AMAZING for his age.

    The trick/illusion will be to get the stick out of Dana’s a$$! Then predict that the CUBS will get swept out of the playoffs!!!, in the first round of course!!
