Note On Whether The Rock Will Be At UFC White House Event

The UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House may or may not have a number of celebrities present, but The Rock will not be one of them. As you likely know, UFC Freedom 250 will be held on the White House lawn in Washington, DC on June 14th as part of the Trump administration’s America 250 celebrations for the nation’s 250th anniversary.

According to TIME Magazine, Dana White has invited several celebrities to the event including Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The report also said that Adam Sandler, Guy Ritchie, Tom Brady, Jared Leto, Jason Statham, and Mario Lopez had all been invited.

However, many of those will apparently be a no-show, as Vanity Fair reports that a source close to Rock said he won’t be attending. Similarly, reps for Sandler, Leto, and Lopez said they would not be at the show. The others’ reps did not respond, and both the White House and UFC did not respond to requests by Vanity Fair for comment.

The Rock is a member of the oard of Directors for TKO, which is of course the parent company for the UFC and WWE. The UFC says that about 4,300 people will be in attendance including least 1,200 active duty military members.

While Rock will not be at the show, several WWE stars will do meet & greets for the UFC Freedom 250 FanFest including Charlotte Flair, The Miz, Trick Williams, Chelsea Green, The Usos, Tiffany Stratton, and Bron Breakker.
