Dana White reveals White House arena design details for UFC 250th anniversary event

UFC President Dana White has shared details and renderings of the arena that will be constructed for the UFC's 250th anniversary of America event at the White House. The stage is currently being built in Europe before being shipped to Philadelphia and then transported by truck to Washington D.C., where it will be erected on the South Lawn. White emphasized that the production will ensure the White House is visible as the backdrop during fights. He stressed that UFC is funding the entire event with no taxpayer money being used, calling it a gift to America. 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 more than 100,000 fans expected to attend fight week events including a two-day fan festival, press conference, and weigh-ins, featuring performances by Zac Brown Band.
