‘No matter what!’ — Dana White reassures fight fans that UFC White House card will happen at all costs

Dana White is “sick and tired” of hearing about bad weather and federal lawsuits. The UFC CEO just wants to focus on rolling out UFC Freedom 250 from the White House South Lawn this Sunday night.

No matter what.

(snip)

“Listen, the show goes on on Sunday. No matter what happens we’re going,” said White at Friday’s presser. “I don’t care if it rains, snows, whatever happens. We have a fight on Sunday.

“I’m sick and tired of hearing about the weather now and all the other bullsh-t surrounding this event. We are fighting on Sunday night on the White House lawn. No matter what!”
