UFC releases White House octagon, fan fest setup for UFC Freedom 250
How is the UFC event going to look at the White House? The promotion reveals its setup.
We're just a few weeks away from the UFC's highly talked-about event at the White House. There have been tons of questions surrounding the card, including how the event is going to look, given it won't take place in a traditional arena. Well, fans won't exactly have to wait until June 14 to find out, as the promotion has provided new visuals for both the octagon and the UFC Freedom 250 Fan Fest.
The octagon will have the White House as its backdrop, and will have a small number of seats for an exclusive amount of people. On the other hand, the Fan Fest will feature a giant screen for the Fight Night watch party. The Fan Fest is not only for the fight itself, as it will host many other events in the lead-up, including appearances from UFC and WWE fighters, the UFC Freedom Fights ceremonial weigh-ins, and a concert with Zac Brown Band that will be the night of the fight.
