Quick read
Dana White provided details on how the UFC event at the White House will be constructed and financed. The arena is being built in Europe, then shipped to Philadelphia before being trucked to Washington D.C. to be erected on the South Lawn. White emphasized that UFC is funding everything entirely without taxpayer money, calling it a gift for America's 250th anniversary. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets through UFCfreedom250.com. Free tickets will be available at the Ellipse park across from the arena, with over 100,000 fans expected across the fight weekend. The two-day fan festival will include a press conference, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band, along with celebrity guests and big-screen fight viewing.
