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 and snow, with lightning being the only condition that would force a stoppage. The UFC is working with military personnel who can forecast weather 10 days in advance, providing updates every 2 hours leading up to the event, and every hour in the final 7 days. White also mentioned they are collaborating with a company experienced in outdoor concerts. The event schedule can be shifted up to 2 hours in either direction if necessary. White noted that he typically hates outdoor events due to their unpredictability, with Abu Dhabi being the only previous outdoor venue he approved due to its reliable weather.
