Dana White reveals White House event arena design for UFC milestone

Dana White unveiled how the arena will look for the UFC's historic White House event celebrating America's 250th anniversary. White specified that he instructed his production team to ensure the White House is visible in the background during fights. The stage is currently 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. White emphasized that UFC is funding the entire event with no taxpayer money involved, calling it a gift to America's semiquennial celebration. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets on UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available for the Ellipse park across from the main arena. More than 100,000 fans are expected to attend various fight weekend events, including a two-day fan festival, press conference, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band with celebrity guests and big-screen fight viewing.
