Dana White reveals White House arena setup for UFC Freedom 250 event

Dana White provided details about the arena setup for the historic White House UFC event, explaining that the entire production is being funded by the UFC without any taxpayer money. The stage is being built in Europe, will be shipped to Philadelphia, then transported by truck to Washington DC where it will be erected on the South Lawn with the White House visible in the background. White emphasized this is a gift from the UFC for America's 250th anniversary and not a political event, regardless of people's political leanings. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets at UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available for the Ellipse park area across from the arena. More than 100,000 fans are expected to attend fight week events including a two-day fan festival, press conference, and weigh-in ceremonies, with the Zac Brown Band performing and celebrity guests scheduled to appear.
