Quick read
Dana White showcased how the UFC arena will look for the White House event, with the White House as the backdrop. The stage is being constructed in Europe, then shipped to Philadelphia before being trucked to Washington and erected on the South Lawn. UFC is funding the entire event themselves with no taxpayer money, calling it a gift for America's 250th anniversary. 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 across the fight weekend, which will include a two-day fan festival featuring press conference, weigh-ins, Zac Brown Band performances, celebrity guests, and big screen fight viewing.
