Quick read
Dana White has shown how the arena will look for the historic UFC event at the White House. The stage is being built in Europe, will be shipped to Philadelphia, then transported by truck to Washington D.C. to be erected on the South Lawn. White emphasized that UFC is covering all costs with no taxpayer money being used, calling it a gift to America for its 250th anniversary. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets through UFCfreedom250.com. Free tickets will be available at the Ellipse park across from the arena, which can hold over 100,000 fans across the fight weekend. The two-day fan festival will include press conferences, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band, with fights shown on big screens.
