Dana White reveals White House UFC event arena design and logistics

Dana White has shown how the arena will appear for the upcoming UFC event at the White House. White explained that the production team is building a stage in Europe that will be shipped to Philadelphia and then trucked to Washington to be erected on the South Lawn. White emphasized that the White House will be visible in the background during the fights and that the UFC is paying for everything with no taxpayer money involved. The event is being presented as a gift from the UFC 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 fight week events, including a two-day fan festival with press conferences, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band.
