Dana White reveals White House event arena design and details

Dana White has shown how the arena will look for the upcoming UFC event at the White House, with the historic building serving as the backdrop for fights. White explained that the production team is building a special stage in Europe that will be shipped to Philadelphia before being transported by truck to Washington D.C. and erected on the South Lawn of the White House. White emphasized that UFC is paying for everything with no taxpayer money being spent, calling it a gift from the UFC for America's 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. White stated that more than 100,000 fans will attend fight week events including a two-day fan festival, press conference, and weigh-ins, with the Zac Brown Band performing all day and celebrity guests attending.
