Dana White cites rain, lightning, and bugs as major risks, with an entomologist predicting abundant insects from midges to mosquitoes. A canopy will shelter fighters, but forecasters say weather could be the bigger challenge as fighters, including Michael Chandler, stay unfazed for the historic spectacle.
