It doesn’t look like Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson will be attending the UFC’s White House event.
On Sunday, June 14th, the UFC will host a UFC fight card on the South Lawn of the White House that will only have 4,200 people in attendance.

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 has invited several celebrities, including The Rock, to attend.

“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.”
While celebrities don’t seem interested in attending the event, several politicians and power brokers are desperately attempting to get tickets.
“In Washington, there’s been a monthslong frenzy over access to the June 14 event, with even the capital’s most powerful denizens frantically jockeying for a spot. The White House, I’m told, has fielded an onslaught of requests from top-dollar donors, lobbyists, and members of Congress clamoring for seats.”
