Quick read
Dana White has shown how the arena will look for the UFC event at the White House celebrating America's 250th anniversary. The production team is building a stage in Europe that will be shipped to Philadelphia and then trucked to Washington DC, where it will be erected on the South Lawn with the White House as a backdrop. White emphasized that UFC is paying for everything without using taxpayer money, calling it a gift to America. Over 70,000 people have applied for tickets on UFCfreedom250.com, with free admission to 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, press conference, and weigh-ins, with Zac Brown Band performing throughout the day.
