Dana White reveals White House arena design for historic UFC event

Dana White showcased the planned arena setup for the upcoming UFC event at the White House, emphasizing that the White House will be visible in the background during fights. The custom stage is being constructed in Europe, will be shipped to Philadelphia, then trucked to Washington DC for assembly on the South Lawn. White stressed that UFC is funding the entire event without using taxpayer dollars, calling it a gift to America for its 250th anniversary. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets at UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available for the Ellipse park across from the arena. More than 100,000 fans are expected to attend fight week events including a two-day fan festival, press conference, and weigh-ins, with the Zac Brown Band performing.
