Dana White assures that only one unforeseen event could jeopardize the UFC White House event , scheduled for June 14th. Since the announcement of the mega-event, which will take place on the lawn of the US presidential residence, fans and experts have questioned whether the fights would go ahead if it rained, as the card will be held outdoors. Now, the organization's president has clarified the situation.
During a live stream with Adin Ross on the Kick platform, Dana White stated that the event will proceed as scheduled even in the rain and reiterated that nothing will be able to prevent it from taking place. According to the UFC president, the only factor capable of interrupting the show would be lightning, which, for safety reasons, could force a pause in the fights.
