The longtime UFC color commentator will be on hand to call all the action on the South Lawn, even if he has a lot of concerns for how the outdoor setting will affect the quality of the fights.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe White House thing is odd, I don\u2019t like it,\u201d Rogan said in a recent episode of his podcast. \u201cI don\u2019t like the idea of fighting outside at all. And then it\u2019s June, and it\u2019s DC, and we looked it up the last time. Like last year, the same day was like 100 degrees. That\u2019s hot as f–k. And then the lights [could bring bugs],<\/a> and then they were talking about using fans. Is that enough? With bug strips everywhere? What are you gonna do? Like, how are you gonna stop the bugs?\u201d<\/p>\n Rogan thinks its ridiculous to ask fighters to compete for a belt in such an unstable situation<\/a> with so many potentially fight-altering elements.<\/p>\n \u201cI just don\u2019t think you should compete in a world championship fight in a non-controlled environment,\u201d he said. \u201cI think it should be inside an air-conditioned arena. It should be a controlled environment. Like you don\u2019t ask someone to play a world championship basketball game outside in the sun. That would be crazy. Like you play in a f–king air-conditioned arena. That\u2019s how it should be.\u201d<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t the first time Rogan has sounded a bit concerned about the Freedom Fights 250 card. Back in March, he suggested it wasn\u2019t the safest time<\/a> to be getting everyone together on the White House lawn.<\/p>\n \u201cI know it\u2019s going to be very high security and high stress and weird to have a fight at the White House in the middle of a f–king war,\u201d he said. \u201cI would hope the war will be sorted out by June, but quite honestly, I\u2019m not confident that\u2019s going to be the case. So that\u2019ll be weird, having this very high profile event where everyone\u2019s in one place at one time right there.\u201d<\/p>\n
