Dana White presented the design for the UFC event arena that will be constructed on the South Lawn of the White House. The stage is being built in Europe and will be shipped to Philadelphia before being transported by truck to Washington D.C. White emphasized that UFC is funding the entire event without using taxpayer money, presenting it as a gift for America's 250th anniversary. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets at UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available for the Ellipse park area across from the arena. The fight weekend is expected to host more than 100,000 fans across various events including a two-day fan festival, press conference, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band.
