The upcoming White House UFC fight will feature some manly mixed-martial-arts men and man-o-sphere macho maniacs who, in a world of beta men, fear nothing. 

Well, almost nothing. Turns out they’re a little afraid of bugs.

Dana White, noted tough guy and head of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, recently said he’s concerned about the event, which falls on Trump’s June 14 birthday. (Maybe the president will have a bouncy house there as well!)

White isn’t worried about strong men clobbering the snot out of each other in an octagonal cage. No, he said, a recent visit to the Rose Garden with the president showed him something truly scary: “He invited me to dinner there. The amount of gnats that are flying around, I'm like, 'Holy (expletive).' As soon as I got on the plane, I got on the phone with my head of production and said, 'Yeah, let me tell you about the gnat situation tonight.’”

Trump's White House UFC event has tough guys worried about bugs

That’s right, folks. Gnats. Trump’s White House lawn display of violence and machismo has one major problem. The organizers and associated man-dudes are worried about bugs.

I would’ve thought they might be worried about being forever associated with a wildly unpopular president whose cruelty and recklessness have torn the country apart........
