Dana White provided details about the UFC's planned event at the White House, showing how the arena will be constructed on the South Lawn. The stage is currently being built in Europe and will be shipped to Philadelphia before being transported by truck to Washington. 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 on UFCfreedom250.com. Free tickets will be available for the Ellipse park across from the arena, which can accommodate over 100,000 fans across the fight weekend. The two-day fan festival will include press conferences, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band, with big-screen fight viewing available.
