Dana White has unveiled details about the arena setup for the upcoming UFC event at the White House, stating the production goal is to feature the White House prominently in the background during fights. The stage is being constructed in Europe and will be shipped to Philadelphia before being transported by truck to Washington, D.C., where it will be erected on the South Lawn. White emphasized that UFC is funding the entire event without using taxpayer money, calling it a gift to America for its 250th anniversary. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets on UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available for the Ellipse park area across from the arena. More than 100,000 fans are expected to attend fight week events, including a two-day fan festival featuring press conferences, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band.
