Dana White reveals White House arena design for UFC freedom event

Dana White has shown how the arena will look for the UFC event at the White House, stating he instructed his production team to ensure the White House is visible in the background during fights. The stage is being built in Europe and will be shipped to Philadelphia before being trucked to Washington DC for assembly on the South Lawn. White emphasized the UFC is funding the entire event without taxpayer money, calling it a gift to America's 250th anniversary. He stressed the event transcends politics and is about celebrating the United States. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets at UFCfreedom250.com. Free tickets will be available at the Ellipse park across from the arena, with over 100,000 fans expected across the fight weekend events. A two-day fan festival will include press conference, weigh-ins, and performances by Zac Brown Band, with celebrity guests and big screen fight viewing.
