Dana White doesn’t care about the rain for the upcoming UFC White House event.
On June 14, the UFC will hold an event outdoors on the South Lawn of the White House.
Unfortunately, early forecasts say that it will likely rain during the event.
The Weather Channel’s Jennifer Gray told the USA Today that she also believes there’s a high probability that it rains on Sunday during the event.

“It’s like a flip of a coin at this point. Or maybe 40 (percent),’’ Gray told USA TODAY Sports on Sunday, June 7. “I’m looking at my maps right now. Starting around Wednesday into Thursday, we really keep storms in place across the East every single day through at least Saturday night. And I don’t see anything that would really stop that from happening on Sunday.’’
While speaking to the media on Tuesday, White said there is nothing stopping the event from happening.
“If it f***ing snows, we’re fighting. We’re fighting.
“Nothing will stop this show going that night, it could f*cking rain — lightning.
“Lightning is the only thing. We’d have to wait it out. We’d have to wait the lightning out and then do the fight.
“Listen, this is why I don’t like doing things outside. Obviously rain would suck. Heavy winds will suck.”
“Anything beyond that, whether it’s, like I said, increased winds, high winds, lightning, we clearly need to shut down.
“if lightning is within eight miles of the octagon. So, those plans are a different set of contingency planning than light to moderate rain.”
