Dana White reveals White House arena design for UFC Freedom 250 event

Dana White showcased the arena design for the historic UFC event at the White House, explaining that the entire production is UFC-funded with no taxpayer money involved. White stated his only requirement to the production team was ensuring the White House would be visible in the background during fights. The stage is currently 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. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets through UFCfreedom250.com. Free tickets will be available at the Ellipse, a park across from the arena, with more than 100,000 fans expected across the fight weekend. The two-day fan festival will include press conferences, weigh-ins, and performances by Zac Brown Band, with celebrity guests and fights shown on large screens.
