Dana White reveals design for UFC event at the White House

Dana White showcased how the arena will look for the upcoming UFC event at the White House. White explained that his production team was instructed to ensure the White House is visible in the background during the fights. The stage is currently being constructed in Europe before being shipped to Philadelphia and then transported by truck to Washington, 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, describing it as a gift from the UFC for America's 250th anniversary. He stressed the event is about the United States, not politics, regardless of people's political leanings. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets at UFCfreedom250.com. Free tickets will be available at the Ellipse, a park across from the arena, which White described as a large field that can accommodate over 100,000 fans throughout the fight week. The event will include a two-day fan festival featuring a press conference, weigh-in ceremony, and performances by the Zac Brown Band, with celebrity guests and fight viewing on a large screen.
