Quick read
Dana White showcased the arena design for the upcoming UFC event at the White House, scheduled for America's 250th anniversary. The stage is being constructed in Europe, will be shipped to Philadelphia, then trucked to Washington D.C. where it will be erected on the South Lawn. White emphasized that UFC is funding the entire event with no taxpayer money, calling it a gift to America. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets at UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available at the Ellipse park across from the arena. More than 100,000 fans are expected to attend the two-day fan festival, which will include press conferences, weigh-ins, performances by the Zac Brown Band, celebrity guests, and big-screen fight viewing.
