Dana White reveals White House UFC event setup and details for July celebration

Dana White provided details about the upcoming UFC event at the White House planned for America's 250th anniversary celebration. The arena will be constructed on the South Lawn with the White House as backdrop, with the stage currently being built in Europe before shipping to Philadelphia and then Washington DC. UFC is funding the entire event without taxpayer money as a gift for the anniversary. White emphasized the event is about celebrating America rather than politics. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets through UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available at 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, expecting over 100,000 attendees across all weekend activities.
