The revelation hands a boost to the troubled event, as it means that the veteran commentator will provide a lift to the event that will go ahead with a raucous audience.
White said, “He did not say that you can’t listen to anything the media says. Nobody talked to him, they heard him talking on a podcast. You know what I mean, so they start writing stories of a podcast, that are full of s***. Rogan will be there.”

White has had issues with the media speculations regarding the event towards the end of March. He even gave the media a one-finger salute, saying he doesn’t give a f*** after losing his cool over constant questions. Recently, he described the UFC correspondents as “Weakest and Wimpiest.”
The UFC 249 card is packed with huge fights. Besides the main event between Ferguson and Gaethje, the main card will also see Rose Namajunas vs Jessica Andrade in the Women’s Strawweight fight. The preliminary card on ESPN will see Francis Ngannou fight Jairzinho Rozenstruik. Their fight was moved from the canceled UFC Fight Night at Columbus.
The organization will reveal the location in due time. Fans speculate that White has managed to secure an island off the West Coast. To conclude, all that we know is that White has done what he said he would do. He added that all the fighters, judges, referees and production staff will be tested regularly to ensure that fully healthy people are at the location.
We know the location is somewhere on earth. But where do you think it is?
