Dana White reveals White House arena setup for UFC 250th anniversary event

Dana White has disclosed details about how the arena will be configured for the historic UFC event at the White House. White stated that the production team's sole directive was to ensure the White House is visible in the background during fights. A custom stage is being constructed in Europe, will be shipped to Philadelphia, then transported by truck to Washington DC where it will be erected on the South Lawn of the White House. White emphasized that the entire event is being funded by the UFC without any taxpayer money, calling it a gift to celebrate America's 250th anniversary. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets at UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available in the Ellipse park across from the arena. More than 100,000 fans are expected to attend fight week activities, which will include a two-day fan festival, press conference, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band.
