Dana White reveals White House event arena design and details

Dana White showcased how the arena will look for the upcoming UFC event at the White House, emphasizing that the White House will be visible in the background during fights. The custom stage is being built in Europe, will be shipped to Philadelphia, then trucked to Washington D.C. for installation on the South Lawn. White stressed that UFC is funding everything privately with no taxpayer money, calling it a gift for America's 250th anniversary. He positioned the event as non-political, celebrating the United States regardless of political affiliation. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets through UFCfreedom250.com. Free tickets will be available for the Ellipse, a large park across from the arena that can accommodate over 100,000 fans across the fight weekend. The event will include a two-day fan festival, press conference, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band, with celebrity guests and big-screen fight viewing.
