UFC Freedom 250 is facing a chaotic weather setup on the White House South Lawn, with a 60% chance of thunderstorms, heavy downpours, and wind gusts up to 34 mph threatening to delay the outdoor fights. On top of the storm risk, brutal D.C. humidity is driving a triple-digit heat index alongside massive swarms of mosquitos and gnats that fighters will have to battle inside the cage. While the venueโs massive 92-foot overhang will keep the octagon dry, a single lightning strike within eight miles will trigger an automatic 30-minute freeze on the entire event.
โIt really looks like ancient Rome. This is sort of a conquering, Republican Caesar, going into the Colosseum, and everyone's cheering. And he's got his political gladiators with him.โ
You mean it is okay to have a man with a boob job flash America on the White House lawn but not okay for the White House to host a @UFC fight for all of America to enjoy? ๐
