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

Dana White shared details about the arena setup for the upcoming UFC event at the White House, stating he wants the White House visible in the background during fights. The custom stage is being built in Europe, then 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 using taxpayer money, calling it a gift from UFC for America's 250th anniversary. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets at UFCfreedom250.com. The Ellipse, a park across from the arena, will offer free tickets and can accommodate more than 100,000 fans across the fight weekend. The two-day fan festival will include press conference, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band, along with celebrity guests and big-screen fight viewing.
