The UFC is preparing for its upcoming event, 'Freedom 250,' scheduled for June 14, 2024, in Washington, D.C. Due to the lack of a permanent arena on the White House lawn, the UFC has constructed a temporary arena in Lititz, Pennsylvania, a small town with a population of under 10,000. The massive structure sparked speculation among locals, with some believing it was a new rollercoaster. The event is projected to cost over $60 million, but the UFC will not recoup this amount as there will be no ticket sales. Instead, the UFC expects around 85,000 fans to gather at nearby Ellipse Park, necessitating significant spending to offset the production costs.
