Dana White normally won\u2019t entertain holding a fight card outdoors.
\nHowever, he will make an exception for a once-in-a-lifetime
\n
\nUFC<\/a> card at the White House.<\/p>\n

The
\nUFC White House<\/a> card will take place on June 14 on the South
\nLawn and is headlined by a lightweight title clash between Ilia
\nTopuria<\/a> and Justin
\nGaethje<\/a>. In the co-main event, Alex
\nPereira<\/a> will face Ciryl Gane<\/a>
\nfor the interim heavyweight crown.<\/p>\n

If the weather doesn\u2019t cooperate, the card will move forward \u2014 with
\none exception.<\/p>\n

\u201c[If it rains] we’re fighting,” White told Adin Ross. “If it f\u2014ing
\nsnows, we’re fighting. Nothing will stop this show going that
\nnight. It can f\u2014ing rain \u2013 Lighting is the only thing. We’d have to
\nwait it out. We’d have to wait the lightning out and then do the
\nfight.<\/p>\n

“This is why I don’t like doing things outside. Rain would suck.
\nHeavy winds will suck. If it’s muggy and bugs. All this kind of sh\u2014
\nis the stuff you have to deal with when you do it outside, but
\nwe’re going through all of it. Any of those things happen, it
\ndoesn’t matter, we’re still going. If it f\u2014ing snows, we’re going.
\nLightning is the only thing that would really screw us.\u201d<\/p>\n
