Dana White reveals arena design for historic White House UFC event

Dana White detailed the production plans for the upcoming UFC event at the White House, showing how the arena will be constructed. White emphasized that the White House will be visible in the background during all fights. The stage is being built in Europe, then shipped to Philadelphia before being trucked to Washington DC for assembly on the South Lawn. White stressed that UFC is funding the entire event privately 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, with free tickets available for the Ellipse park across from the arena. More than 100,000 fans are expected to attend fight week activities, including a two-day fan festival, press conference, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band.
