Dana White reveals White House arena design for UFC 250th anniversary event

Dana White showcased the arena design for the upcoming UFC event at the White House, emphasizing that the White House will be visible in the background during fights. The stage is currently being constructed in Europe and will be shipped to Philadelphia before being trucked to Washington, D.C., where it will be erected on the South Lawn of the White House. White stressed that UFC is paying for everything with no taxpayer money being spent, calling it a gift to America for its 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 that can accommodate over 100,000 fans across the fight weekend. The event will include a two-day fan festival featuring a press conference, weigh-in ceremony, and performances by Zac Brown Band, along with celebrity guests and big-screen fight viewing.
