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

Dana White has shown how the arena will look for the UFC event at the White House, scheduled as part of America's 250th anniversary celebration. The custom stage is being built in Europe, will be shipped to Philadelphia, then transported by truck to Washington D.C. to be erected on the South Lawn with the White House as the backdrop. White emphasized that UFC is funding the entire event privately with no taxpayer money involved, calling it a gift to America. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets through UFCfreedom250.com. Free tickets will be available at the Ellipse park across from the arena, with over 100,000 fans expected across fight week activities. The two-day fan festival will include press conferences, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band, along with celebrity guests and big-screen fight viewing.
