Dana White reveals arena design for UFC White House event

Dana White showcased the planned arena setup for the upcoming UFC event at the White House. The stage is being constructed in Europe before being shipped to Philadelphia and then transported by truck to Washington D.C., where it will be erected on the South Lawn of the White House. White emphasized that the UFC is funding the entire event without using any taxpayer money, presenting it as a gift to celebrate America's 250th anniversary. More than 70,000 people have already applied for tickets through UFCfreedom250.com. The free tickets will be for the Ellipse, a park across from the main arena, with over 100,000 fans expected to attend various fight week events. The two-day fan festival will include press conferences, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band, along with celebrity guests and big-screen fight viewing.
