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

Dana White has shown how the arena will appear for the UFC event at the White House. White stated his production team found a stage being built in Europe that will be shipped to Philadelphia, then transported by truck to Washington to be erected on the South Lawn of the White House. He emphasized that UFC is funding everything privately with no taxpayer money, calling it a gift for America's 250th anniversary. White stressed the event is about the United States, not politics, regardless of anyone's political stance. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets at UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available for the Ellipse park across from the arena. More than 100,000 fans are expected to attend all fight weekend events, which will include a two-day fan festival, press conference, weigh-in ceremony, performances by Zac Brown Band, celebrity guests, and big-screen fight viewing.
