View this post on Instagram Instagram Post Dana White interested but skeptical about hosting outdoor events in the UK At the post-fight press conference following UFC 278, Dana White stated that the weather conditions in England were making him wary of choosing Wembley Stadium as the venue for the Kamaru Usman vs. Leon Edwards trilogy bout. The incessant rain in England could prove to be a major stumbling block in the UFC going to Wembley Stadium. Of the UFC's two most notable stadium shows thus far, at the Roger Center in Canada and Marvel Stadium in Australia, both venues had ceilings and weren't subject to extraneous weather conditions. Speaking to the media, White said he was scared to put on outdoor events in England: "I'm definitely scared to go outside in England. So, I'm joking about, I'm serious but joking about Wembley... It would be fun but scary at the same time. The weather isn't the greatest over there in England," said Dana White.UFC Europe@UFCEuropeLeon vs. Usman 3...in Wembley?
