Dana White reveals White House arena setup for UFC 250th anniversary event

Dana White has shown exactly how the arena will appear at the upcoming White House UFC event. The special stage is being constructed in Europe before being shipped to Philadelphia and then transported by truck to Washington, DC, where it will be erected on the South Lawn of the White House. White emphasized that the UFC is financing the entire event without using any taxpayer money, presenting it as a gift to America for its 250th anniversary. More than 70,000 people have already applied for tickets through UFCfreedom250.com. The Ellipse park across from the arena will host over 100,000 fans during the fight weekend. The two-day fan festival will include a press conference, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band, along with celebrity guests and big-screen fight viewing.
