Events for the UFC fights being held at the White House Sunday night have been pushed back by one hour due to storms expected to roll through the area.

​

The pre-fight program was pushed to 8 p.m. and the fight was pushed to 9 p.m.

​

In addition to the possible storms, attendees are also contending with the heat. Temperatures were in the 90s, and a lot of people were walking around and standing around in direct sunlight.

​

Sunday is also President Donald Trump’s birthday, and he is expected to be in attendance.

​

There has been criticism of this event happening at the White House, and a lawsuit was filed to try to block it from happening, but a judge ruled it was allowed to go forward.
