"The event will feature seven fights, headlined by Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje. Notably, in the past months, podcaster and longtime UFC commentator Joe Rogan has spoken critically of the event."
"Yeah, I'll be there, but I'm not thrilled about it, Rogan said on the March 20 edition of his show. Doesn't seem like a wise idea."
"It sounds crazy, I know it's going to be very high security, and high stress, and weird to have a fight at the White House in the middle of a f*cking war."
Construction will start next week on a temporary arena on the White House South Lawn for a UFC event on June 14.

The fight card will feature seven matches, headlined by Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje. Joe Rogan has expressed concerns about the event's timing and security amidst ongoing global tensions.
