The UFC has vowed to carry out the fight, regardless of all but the most severe weather

The White House is set to host a rare outdoor UFC fight card on Sunday, but swampy heat has the NWS warning of “hazardous” conditions.

“I can’t rule out a shower or a storm, but I don’t think it's going to be an issue,” said Topper Shutt, chief meteorologist for WUSA 9.

The event is set to begin at 8 pm on June 14

The UFC fighters won’t be the only bloodthirsty ones at the event.

UFC is no stranger to hyperbole and strange occurrences. Friday’s press conference to tout its Freedom 250 event featured plenty of both.
