As we eagerly wait for Tuesday June 16th, the blogs and wires are going crazy attempting to predict Dana's "mind-blowing" announcement. In a recent inteview with ESPN the Magazine, Dana White spilled the beans that Liddell would be fighting Evans in Atlanta GA in September expressing that we had no idea what he had planned. He then went on to say "I'm going to make an announcement next week that is going to blow people's minds. That deal is done, but my employees don't even know yet.
