Quick read

Dana White discussed how the UFC will handle various weather conditions during the upcoming outdoor event at the White House. He stated that the event will continue through rain or snow, but lightning is the only weather factor that could halt proceedings. The UFC is coordinating with military weather experts who can forecast conditions 10 days in advance, providing updates every two hours starting 10 days before the event and hourly updates in the final week. White noted they also work with a company experienced in outdoor concerts and can shift the event timing by up to two hours if needed. He emphasized that outdoor events are unpredictable, and the only previous outdoor event he approved was in Abu Dhabi where weather is highly predictable.
