While some people are excited about the upcoming June 2026 UFC fight on the White House lawn, Joe Rogan warned on Tuesday that it could be a mess.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump is currently planning to host a UFC event on the White House lawn<\/a> in celebration of the United States’ 250th birthday. UFC CEO Dana White predicted the event would have “the greatest fight card ever assembled.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This is a one-in-one, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will never happen again,” White said earlier this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rogan, who has been a commentator at several UFC fights, questioned the details being announced about the event,<\/a> where there will be an estimated 5,000 to 6,000 seats near the front of the White House, with another 100,000 people in the back who will watch via massive screens. While Rogan was excited at the prospect of legendary fighter Jon Jones competing at the White House event, he seemed skeptical about how the actual logistics would work.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“What kind of f—— security are they going to have for this?” Rogan asked.<\/p>\n

“Gotta be insane,” his guest, MMA fighter Brendan Allen, said<\/a>. “I can\u2019t imagine, like you said, the security, the behind the scenes, how much stuff’s really going to happen.”<\/p>\n

“A lot of weird pressure, too,” Rogan said. “Because it’s like all the security and the protocols, all that extra s— in your mind before you have to go out there and fight.”<\/p>\n

Beyond the security issues of being at the White House<\/a>, being outdoors in Washington, D.C., during the summer will have its own logistical issues for audiences and competitors alike.<\/p>\n

“Also, you\u2019re fighting outside,” Rogan said. “What if it\u2019s hot and muggy?”<\/p>\n

Allen noted that he has seen outdoor fights in places like Louisiana, where fighters can be seen “slipping and sliding” in the arena.<\/p>\n

“So who knows what’s going to happen. I guess they’ll probably have to have some sort of a roof over it. But what if it’s like 98 degrees outside?” Rogan asked. “D.C. gets hot. It gets hot in the summer.”<\/p>\n

Trump promised on Tuesdday during the Kennedy Center Honors that it will be one of the “biggest fights they’ve ever had”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Everyone\u2019s a championship fight. And everyone\u2019s a legendary type of fight,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
