Dana White reveals White House event arena design, over 70,000 ticket requests

Dana White unveiled the arena design for the upcoming White House UFC event, showing how the octagon will be positioned with the White House as the backdrop on the South Lawn. The stage is being built in Europe, will be shipped to Philadelphia, then trucked to Washington D.C. White emphasized that UFC is funding the entire event as a gift for America's 250th anniversary, with no taxpayer money involved. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets through UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available at the Ellipse park across from the venue. The event will feature a two-day fan festival including press conference, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band, with over 100,000 fans expected to attend all related activities.
