Storms Delay Trump's White House UFC Birthday Bash
TL;DR
Storms forced a weather-delayed start for President Trump’s 80th birthday UFC event at the White House, pushing fights from 8 p.m. to about 9 p.m. as a severe thunderstorm watch warned of hail, strong winds and lightning; organizers prepared shelter-in-place plans while attendees, including Trump’s inner circle, watched Diego Lopes knock out Steve Garcia in two rounds the opener, with the event framed by the rain-delay backdrop and weather warnings.
