Dana White unveiled how the arena will look for the UFC event at the White House, emphasizing the building will be visible in the background during fights. The stage is being constructed in Europe, will ship to Philadelphia, then truck to Washington DC where it will be erected on the South Lawn. White stressed that UFC is funding the entire event with no taxpayer money, calling it a gift for America's 250th anniversary. Over 70,000 people have applied for tickets on UFCfreedom250.com, with free admission to the Ellipse park across from the arena accommodating over 100,000 fans. The two-day fan festival will include press conferences, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band with celebrity guests and big-screen fight viewing.
