Dana White reveals White House UFC event arena design and logistics details

Dana White has unveiled how the arena will look for the upcoming UFC event at the White House. White emphasized that the production will feature the White House as the backdrop for all fights. The stage is currently being constructed in Europe, will be shipped to Philadelphia, then trucked to Washington D.C. and erected on the South Lawn. White stressed that UFC is funding the entire event without any 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 at the Ellipse park across from the arena, with over 100,000 fans expected to attend various fight weekend events including a two-day fan festival, press conference, and weigh-ins with performances by the Zac Brown Band.
