Dana White: Only lightning will stop White House event, military tracking weather

Dana White revealed detailed contingency plans for the upcoming UFC event at the White House, explaining how the promotion will handle various weather conditions. He stated that rain or snow will not stop the event, and only lightning will force a halt to proceedings. The UFC is working with the military, who can predict weather 10 days in advance and will provide updates every two hours leading up to the event, and hourly in the final week. White also mentioned partnering with a company experienced in outdoor concerts for additional weather expertise. He noted the event could be shifted up to two hours earlier or later if necessary, and joked that the only other outdoor event he agreed to was in Abu Dhabi, where he could always predict perfect weather.
