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

Dana White showcased how the arena will look for the UFC event at the White House, with the presidential residence as the backdrop. White explained that the stage is being constructed in Europe, then shipped to Philadelphia before being trucked to Washington D.C. for assembly on the White House South Lawn. He emphasized that UFC is funding the entire event with no taxpayer money, calling it a gift for America's 250th anniversary. White stated the event transcends politics and is about celebrating the United States. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets through UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available for the Ellipse park area across from the main arena. More than 100,000 fans are expected across the fight week activities, which include a two-day fan festival, press conference, weigh-ins, and a performance by Zac Brown Band, with celebrity guests and big-screen fight viewing planned.
