Dana White reveals arena design for White House UFC event

Dana White has unveiled the planned arena setup for the UFC's event at the White House, showing how the venue will appear during fights. White stated the production team's primary goal is to ensure the White House is visible in the background during all bouts. The stage is currently being constructed in Europe before being shipped to Philadelphia and then trucked to Washington, where it will be erected on the South Lawn of the White House. White emphasized that UFC is funding the entire event without using taxpayer money, presenting it as a gift to commemorate America's 250th anniversary. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets through UFCfreedom250.com, with free tickets available for the Ellipse park area across from the arena. The two-day fan festival will include press conferences, weigh-ins, performances by Zac Brown Band, and viewing on large screens, expecting to draw more than 100,000 fans throughout the fight weekend.
