UFC President Dana White along with former UFC light heavyweight champion Forrest Griffin and number one lightweight contender Kenny Florian will be appearing on the Dr. Phil show this Friday, May 15, at 3 PM ET on CBS.
Titled “Dangerous Teen Trends,” the episode will have the UFC stars confront a group of reckless teenagers engaged in underground street fighting in hopes of preparing themselves for a future in combat sports.
Can Dana and Co. convince them that mixed martial arts is a sport and not a street fight in a cage?
An excerpt from the Dr. Phil Web site:
Adela worries for her 17-year-old son, Alex’s, safety after discovering that he’s participating in an underground extreme sport — teen fight clubs. Alex and his 16-year-old friend, Casanova, say that these amateur boxing matches train them to reach their goals of becoming Ultimate Fighting Champions (UFC). How do the teens respond when they come face-to-face with real UFC fighters?
Dana White is making his second guest appearance on the Dr. Phil show. Back in February, the Zuffa chief came to the aid of a heartbroken wife who felt she would lose her husband to the world of ultimate fighting when he suddenly and unexpectedly began pursuing a career in MMA.
It’s interesting to see the UFC — what many of yesterday’s experts perceived as “part of the problem” — now being called in to help be “part of the solution.”
