Months of planning.
Then the building.
Then the agonizing.
And now an apparent delay.
The livestream of UFC Freedom 250 on Paramount+ still is scheduled to start, but the fights will not begin until 9 p.m. ET, according to a UFC representative.
It's unclear if weather is a factor, but the chance for thunderstorms in Washington D.C. is expected to peak between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.
The seven-fight card will be held on the South Lawn of the White House and coincides with President Donald Trump's 80th birthday and America's 250th birthday.
