Joe Rogan has shifted his perspective on UFC Freedom 250, an event set to occur on the White House lawn, after initially expressing skepticism about the outdoor venue.
Joe Rogan has changed his outlook on UFC Freedom 250, which is set to take place on the White House's South Lawn in celebration of President Trump's birthday. Initially, Rogan voiced concerns about the challenges of the outdoor setting, citing issues such as heat and humidity that could affect fighters. He mentioned on his podcast, 'I don't like the idea of fighting outside at all,' and reiterated that championship fights should be held in controlled environments.
