"At the Kennedy Center Honors this month, Trump told reporters that eight or nine championship fights would be held outside the White House in June of next year. The biggest fights they've ever had, he said. Every one is a championship fight. And every one's a legendary type of fight. He claimed an arena that can hold 5,000 to 6,000 people will be built outside the White House, and UFC head Dana White is holding back on certain events to have them be part of the celebration."
"First of all, there's only eight weight classes so how's there gonna be nine title fights? Rogan asked about Trump's plans. Rogan noted the security for the event will be insane, a reason Allen gave for wanting no direct part of the event. Rogan argued the outdoor element is also working against the fight. One UFC fight in Abu Dhabi, he argued, wasn't good. What if it's hot and muggy? he asked, adding it gets hot in the summer in Washington, D.C."
President Donald Trump said eight or nine championship fights will be held outside the White House in June to celebrate the country's 250th anniversary. He said an arena for 5,000 to 6,000 people will be built outside the White House and that UFC head Dana White is reserving events for the celebration. Joe Rogan and UFC fighter Brendan Allen questioned the logistics and feasibility, noting only eight weight classes and heavy security. Rogan cautioned that outdoor conditions can adversely affect fights, citing a problematic Abu Dhabi event with bugs and heat. Allen expressed reluctance to participate because of security concerns.
