Dana White reveals detailed plans for White House UFC event arena design

Dana White has shared how the arena will look for the upcoming UFC event at the White House. White stated that he specifically instructed his production team to ensure the White House is visible in the background during all fights. The custom stage is currently being built in Europe before being shipped to Philadelphia and then transported by truck to Washington D.C., where it will be erected on the South Lawn of the White House. White emphasized that the UFC is paying for everything out of pocket, with no taxpayer money being spent, calling it a gift from the UFC for America's 250th anniversary. He stressed that the event is about celebrating the United States, not politics, regardless of anyone's political leanings. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets through UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available for the Ellipse park across from the arena. More than 100,000 fans are expected to attend events throughout the fight weekend, which will include a two-day fan festival, press conference, weigh-ins, and a performance by the Zac Brown Band.
