Quick read
Dana White showcased how the arena will look for the 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, then shipped to Philadelphia before being trucked to Washington D.C. for installation on the South Lawn. White stressed that UFC is funding the entire event without taxpayer money as a gift for America's 250th anniversary. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets at UFCfreedom250.com. Free tickets will be available for the Ellipse park across from the arena, with over 100,000 fans expected across the fight weekend. The two-day fan festival will include press conference, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band.
