Joe Rogan doesn’t believe Donald Trump’s desired UFC White House event lineup is feasible.
President Trump said he plans on having eight or nine title fights at the UFC’s planned June 14 event at the White House in Washington, D.C. While many fighters are campaigning to compete on that card, longtime UFC commentator and popular podcast host Rogan doubts Trump’s desired number of title fights is even possible.

“OK, first of all, there’s only eight weight classes,” Rogan said on a recent episode of his “Joe Rogan Experience.” “So how’s there going to be nine title fights? That’s kind of a crazy thing. If they don’t do Jon Jones at the White House, I think it would be a travesty. Dana’s like, ‘You can’t count on him.’ You can f*cking count on him. Come on, stop. It would literally have to be every weight class fighting for the title, which would be nuts.”
Rogan also questions the logistics of the event. Trump said the arena is going to have five or six thousand seats at the front door of the White House, and 100,000 people in the back, with eight or 10 very big screens.
“What kind of security are they going to have for this?” Rogan said. “Also, you’re fighting outside. What if it’s hot and muggy? That’s going to affect people.”
