Dana White defiant at final UFC Freedom 250 presser as troubling weather reports loom

The UFC has spent months making plans for one of the most unique events in MMA history, UFC Freedom 250 at the White House this Sunday in Washington.

The seven-fight show features fan-favorites Diego Lopes, Michael Chandler and Sean O'Malley in separate fights, a heavyweight interim title clash between Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane, and a lightweight championship bout between Ilia Topuria and challenger Justin Gaethje. The card is stacked with big names and fights that promise finishes.

But there is one possible issue: Inclement weather.

At the time of publication Friday, The Weather Channel forecasts a 50% chance of rain for Sunday in D.C., with the "potential for severe thunderstorms."

I've been to NFL games where the game was delayed due to thunderstorms. Why should this be any different?

Hope it's a gully-washer, preferably with a tornado thrown in to whip this trailer trash disaster away completely and save taxpayers the clean-up costs. Big bonus if the orange bawbag gets fatally struck by lightning in the process, wherever he’s lurking.

What a farce.
