The weather is not looking ideal for the upcoming UFC White House event.
On Sunday, June 14th, the UFC will hold an event on the South Lawn of the White House.
On Wednesday, the UFC arena outside the White House was complete, and the media were allowed to take a look at it.
Hours after the media preview, rain poured down on the DC area over the newly installed UFC octagon.

UFC CEO Dana White has said that rain will not stop the event.
“I mean, if you read the internet the f***ing whole show is getting shut down on Sunday. But I don’t care if it snows, rains, whatever, we’re going — and even lightning. You guys all played sports when you were growing up — whenever there was lightning, you’d sit the lightning out, and then when it was over, you played. That’s what we’ll do. And if there would be lightning, we’d know it days before, and then we would work around it.”
