Joe Rogan Critiques Outdoor UFC Event at White House, Cites Heat Concerns

Joe Rogan shares Dana White’s reservations about holding UFC events in open-air venues, pointing out a crucial issue that could severely impact fighters at the upcoming White House event on June 14.

Construction is underway on the White House lawn, with the installation of the octagon-shaped cage on the South Lawn. The venue is expected to accommodate 5000 spectators.

While Dana White has indicated that weather like rain or snow won’t deter the UFC Freedom 250 fights, lightning is the only factor that could necessitate a temporary halt until it’s safe to resume.

Earlier this month, White mentioned on a podcast that insects and flies could pose a disturbance to the fighters during UFC Freedom 250. To mitigate this, arrangements have been made to install fans near the stage.

However, Joe Rogan has raised a different, pressing concern that the UFC needs to address urgently.

Joe Rogan Worried About Fighters Suffering from Extreme Heat and Dehydration on June 14

During his podcast, Joe Rogan voiced his opposition to outdoor fights altogether, asserting that UFC championship bouts should exclusively take place in air-conditioned arenas.

Rogan emphasized the importance of the promotion considering the construction of a proper arena, as extreme temperatures could significantly affect the fighters on June 14, given the high likelihood of Washington D.C. experiencing scorching heat.

“The White House thing is odd. I don’t like the idea of fighting outside at all… I just don’t think you should compete in a world championship fight in a non-controlled environment. It should be inside an air-conditioned arena. Like, you wouldn’t ask them to play world championship basketball game outside on the sun. That would be crazy… Build a fu*king roof. You’ve got all the money in the world, right?… Build a 4,000-seat arena. Imagine if someone loses a fight because it’s too hot outside. Imagine if that becomes a factor. Imagine the dehydrated fighters.”

In the meantime, most fighters on the card are undergoing rigorous training camps, preparing for the extreme heat. They are aware that if the weather proves unmerciful on June 14, their fights will become considerably more challenging.

Joe Rogan, like Dana White, is not a proponent of hosting UFC events in outdoor settings. He has highlighted a significant issue that could pose a serious problem for the fighters scheduled to compete on June 14 at the White House.

Preparations have begun on the White House lawn, with the installation of the octagon-shaped cage on the South Lawn. The venue is reported to have a seating capacity of 5000.

While White has previously stated that rain or snow will not halt the UFC Freedom 250 fights, lightning is the sole element that could force a temporary pause until it is safe to resume.

Earlier in May, White commented on a podcast that insects and flies could be a nuisance to the participants during UFC Freedom 250. To address this, he has already requested the team to set up fans near the stage.

However, Joe Rogan has a different concern that the UFC needs to address promptly.

“The White House thing is odd. I don’t like the idea of fighting outside at all… I just don’t think you should compete in a world championship fight in a non-controlled environment.
