Dana White: UFC White House card will proceed through inclement weather

Dana White normally won’t entertain holding a fight card outdoors. However, he will make an exception for a once-in-a-lifetime UFC card at the White House. The UFC White House card will take place on June 14 on the South Lawn and is headlined by a lightweight title clash between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje .

In the co-main event, Alex Pereira will face Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight crown. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, the card will move forward — with one exception. “[If it rains] we're fighting," White told Adin Ross.

"If it f—ing snows, we're fighting. Nothing will stop this show going that night. It can f—ing rain – Lighting is the only thing.

We'd have to wait it out. We'd have to wait the lightning out and then do the fight. "This is why I don't like doing things outside.
