Why Was Rogan Previously Critical Of The UFC White House Fight?<\/h2>\n

Rogan repeatedly raised concerns on his podcast over the weather and potential safety hazards, despite being slated to call the event. In a May episode of his show, he said<\/u>, \u201cI don\u2019t like the idea of fighting outside at all,\u201d suggesting hot weather, storms or bugs could interfere with the fights. \u201cBuild a roof,\u201d he suggested. In another May episode<\/u>, he said the event should be held in a \u201ccontrolled environment out of respect for the athletes.\u201d In a March episode<\/u>, Rogan, who has been a frequent critic of the war in Iran, said it is \u201cweird to have a fight at the White House in the middle of a f\u2014ing war.\u201d He also suggested the event could be a safety hazard, saying, \u201cHaving this very high profile event where everyone\u2019s in one place at one time right there\u2026 it seems like you\u2019re asking for,\u201d before trailing off. In another episode in March, Rogan confirmed he would be at the event but was \u201cnot thrilled about it,\u201d calling it \u201ckind of a gimmick\u201d and a potential \u201csecurity nightmare.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Justice Department<\/u> on Tuesday said it charged five people in connection with an alleged plot to deploy explosives drones around the event to kill government officials. The mother of one of the accused reported<\/u> him to authorities after he purchased weapons and became involved with an online group concerned about \u201cgovernment corruption, the handling of the Epstein files\u201d and \u201cdata centers taking up all the water in communities,\u201d according to an affidavit. The Department of Justice used the alleged plot as justification for the White House constructing a ballroom<\/u>, which Trump has long advocated for. <\/p>\n

tangent<\/h2>\n

Other high-profile critics<\/u> emerged ahead of the White House fight, including UFC co-founder Rorion Gracie, who said he would not watch because the UFC has embraced \u201cunnecessary violence,\u201d which was \u201cnot the direction it was intended to go\u201d when he co-founded it. UFC fighters Sean Strickland and Bryce Mitchell and former champion Ronda Rousey also criticized the event in advance, with Strickland claiming he was \u201cbanned,\u201d which UFC president Dana White disputed. Even White suggested the outdoor location could be a problem ahead of the event, though he called<\/u> the fight an \u201camazing experience\u201d afterward.<\/p>\n

key background<\/h2>\n

The White House held the UFC fights on Sunday in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, as well as Trump\u2019s 80th birthday. The fight began after a short weather delay, and American fighter Justin Gaethje won in the main event against Georgian Ilia Topuria. In a highly controversial<\/u> remark, fighter Josh Hokit said after winning his bout that former First Lady Michelle Obama is a man. The event was a $60 million affair the UFC has said it paid the bill for. <\/p>\n
