Quick read
Dana White unveiled details about the arena setup for the UFC's special event at the White House celebrating America's 250th anniversary. The stage is being constructed in Europe and will be shipped to Philadelphia before being trucked to Washington D.C. to be erected on the South Lawn. White emphasized that the production will be entirely funded by UFC without any taxpayer money. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets through UFCfreedom250.com. The free tickets will be for the Ellipse, a park across from the arena that can accommodate over 100,000 fans across the fight weekend. The two-day fan festival will include press conferences, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band.
