Dana White reveals UFC White House arena design and event details

Dana White has shown how the arena will look for the UFC event at the White House, emphasizing that the White House will be visible in the background during fights. The stage is being constructed in Europe, will be shipped to Philadelphia, and then transported by truck to Washington to be erected on the South Lawn. White stressed that UFC is funding the entire event with no taxpayer money, calling it a gift for America's 250th anniversary. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets at UFCfreedom250.com. Free tickets will be available for the Ellipse, a park across from the arena. More than 100,000 fans are expected across the fight weekend, which will include a two-day fan festival, press conference, and weigh-in ceremony. The Zac Brown Band will perform all day, and there will be celebrity guests and big-screen fight viewing.
