Dana White reveals White House arena design for historic UFC event

Dana White unveiled how the arena will look for the UFC event at the White House, emphasizing that the White House will be visible in the background during all fights. The stage is currently being built in Europe before being shipped to Philadelphia and then trucked to Washington for assembly on the South Lawn. White stressed that UFC is funding the entire event without using taxpayer money, 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 area across from the main arena. The two-day fan festival will accommodate over 100,000 fans and include press conferences, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band, along with celebrity guests and big-screen fight viewing.
