Dana White reveals arena design for White House UFC event

Dana White has unveiled how the arena will appear for the upcoming UFC event at the White House. White emphasized that when fights take place, the White House will be visible in the background. The production team located a stage being built in Europe, which will be shipped to Philadelphia and then transported by truck to Washington, DC, where it will be erected on the South Lawn. White stressed that UFC is funding the entire event without using taxpayer money, calling it a gift from the UFC for America's 250th anniversary. He framed the event as non-political, focusing instead on celebrating the United States. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets through UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available at the Ellipse park across from the arena. The fight weekend will attract more than 100,000 fans to various events, including a two-day fan festival, press conference, and weigh-in ceremony, with the Zac Brown Band performing and celebrity guests attending.
