Dana White reveals arena setup for White House UFC event

Dana White detailed plans for the UFC's event at the White House, showing how the arena will be constructed on the South Lawn. White emphasized that the production team's priority is ensuring the White House appears in the background during fights. The stage is currently being built in Europe before being shipped to Philadelphia and then transported by truck to Washington. White stressed that UFC is funding the entire event without using taxpayer money, presenting it as a gift to America's 250th anniversary. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets on UFCfreedom250.com. The Ellipse park across from the arena will host free viewing for fans, with more than 100,000 expected to attend fight week events. The two-day fan festival will include press conferences, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band.
