Dana White has unveiled the exact design and construction plan for the UFC's White House event arena. The UFC president showed how the arena will appear with the White House as the backdrop on the South Lawn. The stage is currently being built in Europe, will be shipped to Philadelphia, then transported by truck to Washington DC for assembly. White emphasized that UFC is funding the entire event privately with no taxpayer money involved, presenting it as a gift for America's 250th anniversary. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets through UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available at the Ellipse park across from the arena. More than 100,000 fans are expected to attend the fight week events, which will include a two-day fan festival, press conference, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band.
