Dana White reveals UFC White House event setup with arena built in Europe

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 constructed in Europe, then will be shipped to Philadelphia before being trucked to Washington DC and erected on the South Lawn. White stressed that UFC is financing the entire event without using taxpayer money, presenting it as a gift for America's 250th anniversary. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets through UFCfreedom250.com. Free tickets will be available for the Ellipse, a park across from the arena, which can accommodate over 100,000 fans across the fight weekend. The multi-day event will include a fan festival, press conference, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band.
