Dana White reveals White House fight arena design and event details

UFC President Dana White has unveiled the arena design for the upcoming UFC event at the White House, emphasizing that the White House will be visible in the background during fights. The custom stage is being constructed in Europe before being shipped to Philadelphia and then trucked to Washington DC for assembly on the South Lawn. White stressed that UFC is funding the entire event without using any taxpayer money, calling it a gift to America for its 250th anniversary. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets through UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available for the Ellipse park across from the arena. More than 100,000 fans are expected to attend fight week events, which will include a two-day fan festival, press conference, weigh-ins, and a performance by the Zac Brown Band with celebrity guests and big-screen fight viewing.
