Summary
Joe Rogan said Trump answered his warning about a possible terrorist attack at UFC Freedom 250 with, “We got to go somehow,” during the June 14 event on the White House South Lawn.
Rogan said trainer Trevor Wittman had also been uneasy about the high-profile venue, and Justin Gaethje said he accepted the danger before beating Ilia Topuria for the lightweight title.
Five men were charged on June 16 in an alleged plot tied to the event; prosecutors said they discussed using explosive-laden drones to trigger an evacuation and then shooting fleeing targets with snipers.
Rogan said the card is better remembered for Gaethje’s upset win and called the White House spectacle—held during U.S. 250th-anniversary events and Trump’s 80th birthday—historically unique.
