Dana White reveals White House event arena design, details UFC 250th anniversary plans

Dana White showcased how the arena will look for the upcoming UFC event at the White House, with the venue specifically designed to feature the White House as a backdrop during fights. The stage is being constructed 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, presenting it as a gift for America's 250th anniversary. Over 70,000 people have applied for tickets on UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available for the Ellipse park area across from the arena, which can accommodate over 100,000 fans. The celebration will include a two-day fan festival featuring a press conference, weigh-in ceremony, and a performance by Zac Brown Band, along with celebrity guests and fight viewing on large screens.
