The UFC group details the seating arrangements for Trump’s Marine Band, the media, and the military personnel. At least 1,200 of the approximately 4,300 seats will go to active military members.
According to TIME magazine, UFC CEO Dana White invited several celebrities, including The Rock, Adam Sandler, Jared Leto, and others to attend.
White has invited Adam Sandler, Guy Ritchie, Tom Brady, Jared Leto, Jason Statham, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and Mario Lopez.
Unfortunately, celebrities don’t want to associate themselves with the event, and are turning down their invites.

“A source close to The Rock tells Vanity Fair that he will not be attending. Representatives for Sandler, Leto, and Lopez say they won’t be either. Reps for the others did not respond to multiple requests for comment. The White House and UFC did not respond to requests for comment about the guest list.”
It’s not shocking to see celebrities turn down their invites considering the wave of backlash performers received for the America 250 concert just a fe weeks ago.
