UFC White House Fight Condemned as Dangerous Outdoor Event in 100-Degree Heat
Joe Rogan Experience
JRE MMA Show #179 with Josh Thompson & "Big" John McCarthy
"June, and it's DC, and we looked it up. The last time, like last year, same day, was 100 degrees. You add the lights. The bugs are a big one. How are they gonna fucking do anything about the bugs?"
Rogan and McCarthy strongly criticized the UFC's planned outdoor fight at the White House, noting temperatures reached 100 degrees on the same date last year. They argued no world championship fight should occur in uncontrolled outdoor conditions, especially with dehydrated fighters competing 24 hours after weigh-ins. McCarthy recalled UFC 3 reaching 150 degrees indoors without air conditioning, causing multiple fighters to collapse.
