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

UFC President Dana White has shared details about the arena construction for the UFC event at the White House celebrating America's 250th anniversary. The 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 visible in the background. White emphasized the event is fully funded by the UFC without taxpayer money, calling it a gift to America's 250th anniversary and stating it transcends politics. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets through UFCfreedom250.com. Free tickets will be available for the Ellipse park across from the arena, with expectations of over 100,000 fans attending various fight week events. The two-day fan festival will include a press conference, weigh-in ceremony, and a performance by the Zac Brown Band, with celebrity guests and big-screen fight viewing planned.
