White was also asked about the logistics of the event, specifically the fact that it’s the first outdoor UFC event since UFC 112 in Abu Dhabi back in 2010. White explained that the company is working with the US military to make sure they know the weather forecast long before the event takes place, but if there is a chance of lightning, which would be the only thing that causes the event to be stopped, White believes that everything will be in place to fight the biggest opponent of the event, mother nature.

“So we could move the event two hours earlier, two hours after. These are all things that we’ll be playing with the week of the event on top of all the other things that we’ll have going on, which we never had to deal with. The only time I’d ever agreed to do an outdoor event was in Abu Dhabi, which, I could be the weatherman in Abu Dhabi, and I would be right every time.”

The Concert Arena in Abu Dhabi that played host to UFC 112 was torn down the week after the event took place, something that will also happen after UFC Freedom 250 takes place. However, as White said, the company will be at the mercy of mother nature when it comes to the weather, but confirmed that even in wind, rain, or snow, the UFC will host the biggest MMA event in history.
