The UFC White House card is one month away, and Dana White is worried about lightning.
On June 14th, the UFC will hold an outdoor fight on the lawn of the White House.
While the UFC White House fight is exciting, White and his team are seriously concerned about the lighting and the weather.
While speaking with Lara Trump on Fox News’ My View with Lara Trump, White talked about how he’s working with the military to forecast the weather leading up to the event.
“I hate outdoors. Outdoors is just way too unpredictable. And we’ve gone over this, you know. If it rains, we’re going. If it snows, we’re going. The only thing that will stop us is lightning.”
“But we’re working with the military. So the military knows the weather ten days out, and they’ll notify us every two hours, ten days out. Seven days out, they’ll notify us every hour.”
“There’s another company that does it for concerts and things like that. They’re very good too. So what could happen is the only thing that kills us is lightning.”
White went on to say that the forecasts will help determine if they have to change the time of the fight card.
“So we could move the event two hours earlier, two hours after, you know. So these are all things that we’ll be playing with the week of the event, on top of all the other things that we’ll have going on, which we never had to deal with.”
