Dana White reveals White House event arena design and logistics

Dana White provided details about the UFC event planned for the White House lawn, showing the arena design during an ESPN MMA interview. White emphasized that the production aims to feature the White House prominently in the background during fights, with a stage being built in Europe, shipped to Philadelphia, then trucked to Washington for assembly on the South Lawn. The UFC is funding the entire event without taxpayer money, positioning it as a gift for America's 250th anniversary. White stated the event transcends politics and is about celebrating the United States. 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 across the fight weekend events, which will include a two-day fan festival, press conference, and weigh-ins, with performances by Zac Brown Band and celebrity guests.
