Dana White reveals White House arena setup for historic UFC event

Dana White detailed how the UFC 250th anniversary event at the White House will be structured, with the arena designed to showcase the White House as the backdrop during fights. The production team is building a special stage in Europe that will be shipped to Philadelphia and then trucked to Washington to be erected on the South Lawn. White emphasized that UFC is funding everything privately with zero taxpayer dollars, calling it a gift to America's 250th anniversary. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets on UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available for The Ellipse park across from the arena, which can accommodate over 100,000 fans across the fight weekend. The two-day fan festival will include press conference, weigh-ins, and performances by Zac Brown Band.
