Dana White reveals White House arena setup details for historic UFC event

Dana White has shown how the arena will look for the upcoming UFC event at the White House. White stated that his only requirement for the production team was to ensure the White House is visible in the background during fights. The stage is currently being constructed in Europe and will be shipped to Philadelphia before being transported by truck to Washington, where it will be erected on the South Lawn of the White House. The UFC is financing the entire event without using any taxpayer money, positioning it as a gift for America's 250th anniversary. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets through 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 and celebrity guests.
