The White House lawn doesn\u2019t have an arena for live events, so UFC will have to build one.<\/p>\n
Much like it did for UFC 112 in Abu Dhabi all the way back in 2010<\/a>, the promotion has constructed a temporary arena to produce \u201cFreedom 250\u201d<\/a> on June 14 in Washington, DC. The structure has already been assembled and tested in Lititz, Pennsylvania, a small town populated by less than 10,000 people.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n The massive structure led some residents to believe they were getting a new rollercoaster.<\/p>\n Dropping a rollercoaster in Lititz is like putting a monorail in Springfield<\/a>.<\/p>\n It\u2019s easy to see why the UFC White House fight card<\/a> is costing upward of $60 million<\/a> to produce. The promotion won\u2019t make its money back because the event will not be attended by ticket holders<\/a>. That means the 85,000 fans who descend upon the nearby Ellipse Park<\/a> will have to spend beaucoup bucks to make a dent in the UFC White House price tag.<\/p>\n For the finalized\u00a0UFC White House<\/a>\u00a0fight card and\u00a0Paramount+<\/a>\u00a0lineup click\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The White House lawn doesn\u2019t have an arena for live events, so UFC will have to build one.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":172443,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[20908,28,30,29,77388,74817,77389,24540],"class_list":{"0":"post-172442","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pennsylvania","8":"tag-lititz","9":"tag-pennsylvania","10":"tag-pennsylvania-headlines","11":"tag-pennsylvania-news","12":"tag-rollercoaster","13":"tag-ufc","14":"tag-ufc-white-house","15":"tag-white-house"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172442","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172442"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172442\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/172443"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=172442"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=172442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
