Dana White reveals White House event setup details for UFC 250th anniversary show

Dana White provided detailed information about the arena construction and logistics for the UFC event at the White House celebrating America's 250th anniversary. The stage is being built in Europe, shipped to Philadelphia, then transported by truck to Washington D.C. where it will be erected on the South Lawn. White emphasized the production will feature the White House as the backdrop during fights and that UFC is funding the entire event without taxpayer money. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets through UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available for the Ellipse park across from the arena. The two-day fan festival will include press conference, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band, with more than 100,000 fans expected to attend weekend activities. White stressed the event is apolitical and meant to celebrate the United States.
