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 venue’s 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.
What's up, everyone!
Tomorrow I'll be going for a run around the White House to get into the spirit and kick off what promises to be a historic week for the UFC.
I'll be heading out between 9:30 and 10:00 AM, directly from my hotel. If you're in Washington and want to join me for a few miles, come along. It'll be a great chance to share the energy, talk a little, and enjoy the moment together.
Let's get some work in and start the day the right way!
