Dana White reveals potential insect issue for UFC White House

Dana White is opposed to open-air UFC events for a reason. 

The UFC is hosting a one-of-a-kind event on President Donald Trump’s birthday on June 14 at the White House to celebrate America’s 250th year of independence. White recently revealed that, among other issues, the UFC’s production team is currently trying to figure out how to deal with gnats. 

White, who is a close ally of Trump, was recently invited to dinner at the Rose Garden of the White House. White was immediately concerned to see the number of gnats there. The issue is likely to be aggravated further under the bright lights at UFC White House. White immediately called his head of production to discuss the issue and make sure fighters don’t have gnats swarming them at the event on June 14. White notes that he has always been opposed to open-air events for reasons like these.

“President Trump just opened the Rose Garden two nights ago, and he invited me to dinner there,” White told Boardroom. “The amount of gnats that were flying around, I’m like, ‘Holy s—t.’ As soon as I got on the plane, I called my head of production and said, ‘Yeah, let me tell you about the gnat situation tonight.’ So when you’re a fighter, think about that lighting grid, the claw that we’re gonna have, the amount of power in the lights. Moths, gnats, and God knows what else. Fighters trying to deal with that… These are all the little details that we have to think about. That’s why I don’t like fighting outside. Ever.”
