Dana White reveals UFC White House event arena design and details

Dana White has shown how the arena will look for the UFC event at the White House, with the venue being constructed to feature the White House as a backdrop during fights. The stage is 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. White emphasized that UFC is funding the entire event without using taxpayer money, calling it a gift for America's 250th anniversary. 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 across the fight weekend, which will include a two-day fan festival featuring a press conference, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band.
