Dana White reveals White House UFC event arena design, confirms over 70,000 ticket requests

Dana White has shown how the arena will look for the UFC event at the White House, with the building as the backdrop for all fights. The stage is being constructed in Europe, then shipped to Philadelphia before being trucked to Washington DC for assembly on the South Lawn. White emphasized UFC is funding everything with no taxpayer money, calling it a gift for America's 250th anniversary. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets on UFCfreedom250.com. Free tickets will be available at the Ellipse park across from the arena, with over 100,000 fans expected across fight week events. The two-day fan festival will include press conferences, weigh-ins, and a Zac Brown Band performance, with celebrity guests and big-screen fight viewing planned.
