Dana White has unveiled the design for the UFC event at the White House, explaining that the arena is being constructed in Europe before being shipped to Philadelphia and then transported by truck to Washington D.C. The octagon will be erected on the South Lawn with the White House visible in the background during fights. 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 across from the arena. The event weekend will accommodate more than 100,000 fans across a two-day fan festival featuring press conferences, weigh-ins, Zac Brown Band performances, celebrity guests, and big-screen fight viewing.
