Several big-name celebrities have been invited to next month’s UFC White House card.

On Sunday, June 14th, the UFC will hold a fight card on the south lawn of the White House.

According to UFC CEO Dana White, there will be 5,000 people on the White House lawn, and over 85,000 people at the Ellipse across the street.

“We literally just got done going through all the logistics of how to set it up there, how many people we can have,” White said. “It’s looking like we’ll have 5,000 people live on the White House lawn. It will be on the South Lawn, and then across the street is the park, it’s called the Ellipse, I think, and we can have 85,000 people there.”

“We’re basically going to take over D.C. that whole week with lots of different things for fight fans,” White said. “Then obviously a one-of-one event to be able to have it at the White House. The fighters will actually walk from the Oval Office to the Octagon.”

Two weeks away from the card, construction has begun on the White House lawn.

According to Time magazine, White has invited several A-list celebrities, including Tom Brady, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, and Adam Sandler, to attend the event.
