Dana White showcased the arena setup for the UFC event at the White House, explaining that the stage is being built in Europe, shipped to Philadelphia, and then transported by truck to Washington DC to be erected on the South Lawn. White emphasized that UFC is funding the entire event as a gift for America's 250th anniversary, with no taxpayer money being used. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets at UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available at the Ellipse park across from the arena. The event will span two days and include a fan festival, press conference, weigh-ins, performances by Zac Brown Band, celebrity guests, and a big-screen fight viewing for over 100,000 fans.
