So they were being assholes. I don't know why you were downvoted (maybe for being off topic), but while the weather channel wasn't lying, they ended up being incorrect. I along with many others thought it was silly to hold the event outside, but weather-wise it went off without a hitch. It is true though, the fighters were paid bonuses from some Trump crypto fund which raised eyebrows. Also there is an unverified and disputed story of Eric Trump asking UFC announcer Daniel Cormier for inside info on the fight card, presumably to make bets. I actually watch UFC but I am not thrilled about its close ties to the executive branch. It feels very "bread & circus" like. |
