Dana White expressed concerns about a significant insect problem at the White House Rose Garden after attending a dinner there with President Trump. White worried about how the massive lighting required for the UFC event will attract even more moths, gnats, and other insects. He described how fighters will have to deal with bugs flying into their mouths and eyes during competition. White contacted his production chief to discuss potential solutions, including using fans to deter the insects, though he remains uncertain about the best approach. This situation reinforces White's longstanding preference against holding outdoor fights due to such unpredictable complications.
