Quick read
Dana White showed how the arena will look for the upcoming UFC event at the White House. The stage is being built in Europe and will be shipped to Philadelphia before being trucked to Washington DC for installation on the South Lawn. White emphasized that UFC is funding the entire event with no taxpayer money being used, presenting it as a gift for America's 250th anniversary. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets through UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available for the Ellipse park area across from the arena. More than 100,000 fans are expected to attend the two-day fan festival, which will include press conferences, weigh-ins, performances by Zac Brown Band, celebrity guests, and big screen fight viewing.
