UFC President Dana White could not overlook the break in the weather that allowed UFC Freedom 250 at the White House to proceed as planned.
That Sunday, June 14, was uncertain as forecasts did not look promising.
This was an outdoor event where fighters could step onto a canvas that, if wet from rain, may have proven hazardous.
Moreover, if lightning struck near the event, it could have caused a 30-minute delay, with every subsequent strike furthering the time before resuming the action.
This would have been a disaster not only for White, but for President Donald Trump, much to the joy of leftists always yearning for his demise.
The Washington Examiner noted a Thursday comment by White that will air as part of a Fox Nation documentary about the event. “God, Mother Nature, whatever you want to call it, those clouds splitting and going around us — listen, I don’t know how to describe it, but it was pretty d*** awesome.”
White isn’t exactly outspoken as a believer, but looking at the forecast posted by MyRadar Weather to social media platform Facebook just hours before the fights, how else could you explain what happened?
The timeline showed storms and high winds around 8:30 p.m. After 9 p.m., a downpour and possible lightning were predicted. By 10 p.m., the storms were forecasted to move east, but the event would be in a tailspin at that point with so many delays.
Journalist and podcaster Caleb Parke wrote to Facebook days after the event to reflect on how it all turned out.
“Dana White says the storm appeared to split and move around the White House and the Ellipse. ‘The storm comes and splits at the White House and goes around the White House and the Ellipse,’ White said.”

“because He likes Trump?”
because God’s plans are God’s plans.
Some people, even babies, have a very short plan (Eliot 99 balloons always comes to mind - it was on YouTube years ago, may still be) but even those very short lives can be of a huge importance we may never really understand.
Somehow it’s all for His glory to shine through the bad stuff.
😇
I don’t think He puts a limit on the number of His wondrous signs.
Have seen a storm split around and not hit direct on. Split into. Guess the spin in the heavens moved it.
Indeed and AMEN!
Maybe churches should feature MMA in the services?
You can’t control the weather. You can only hope to contain it.
Last night in DC the storm eased, Trump fave his speech and the Fireworks went off. The storm returned after the show. How do you explain that?
We had our extended family picnic yesterday. While blessing the food a line about holding back the storm till after the event. It did not rain until everyone was done eating. PTL
The biggest human-level sin (in my worldly opinion, not theological) is betrayal of a fellow soldier.
King David did that with Ur the Hitite. Set him up to die so he could bang Delilah.
Literally the lowest of the low.
It’s probably the soldier in me. I think very little of David because of that particular sin.
But God blessed King Jodie (aka David; ask a soldier what I mean if you don’t know) because David was God’s chosen leader and shared His will on important things.
Trump seems to experience similar blessings, despite obvious character flaws.
The rain seems a Matthew 5:45 situation, and I don’t read too much into it.
But it’s plausible. I’m not going to say they’re wrong.
We have a NOAA weather radio, and when it went off, my husband said the storms were going North and South of us. We did see lightning, though.
Maybe TheFourthRuffian, if and when he makes the scene, will hit the mark.
In the meantime, The Third is having some kind of fun spitballin’ it!
Ur is a city, and you’d need to get past Samson, not Uriah, to get at Delilah!
DuckDuckGo Search Assist:
The wife of Uriah is Bathsheba, who became the wife of King David after Uriah was killed in battle.
Or escape it.
So you’re objecting that I called “Uriah” “Ur”?
Wait until I tell my friends Tom, Ed, and Rob.
Touché!
I’m pretty sure the God of the New Testament that many of you purport to follow, is all in on men trying to beat each other to a pulp for money, gladiator style, and especially the guy how showed up drunk for the weigh in and threw up on himself, women prancing around the ring half naked, not to mention all the gambling. God loves this sh!t.
As someone else mentioned, last year a flood killed a bunch of innocent girls at a Christian camp in Texas. God didn’t seem to want to intervene in that case or when tornados or hurricanes, or earthquakes hits poor God-fearing people, but somehow thought that keeping a thunderstorm away from a UFC fight more worthy of His attention.
Pitiful.
You are so holy. I am in awe.
You are such a hypocrite. I am disgusted.
