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

Dana White has shown how the arena will look for the UFC event at the White House celebrating America's 250th anniversary. White stated that he instructed his production team to ensure the White House is visible in the background during all fights. The custom stage is being built in Europe, will be shipped to Philadelphia, then transported by truck to Washington D.C. where it will be erected on the South Lawn of the White House. White emphasized that UFC is funding the entire event privately with no taxpayer money being used, calling it a gift from UFC to America. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets on UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available at the Ellipse park across from the arena. More than 100,000 fans are expected to attend various fight week events, including a two-day fan festival, press conference, and weigh-ins, with performances by Zac Brown Band.
