Celebrities invited to President Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s UFC<\/a> fight card at the White House<\/a> on June 14 include actor-comedian Adam Sandler, ex-NFL great Tom Brady, pro wrestler-turned-action hero Dwayne \u201cThe Rock\u201d Johnson, \u201cAccess Hollywood\u201d host Mario Lopez, actor Jared Leto, big-screen badass Jason Statham and director Guy Ritchie, Time reported on Tuesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Lopez was asked to attend, his rep confirmed to celebrity.land on Wednesday, but will not make it due to \u201cwork commitments.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The event falls on Trump\u2019s 80th birthday and is also intended as an early celebration for the country\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Those seven men made UFC boss Dana White\u2019s guest list. The White House and sports firm TKO will be adding names as well, Time wrote. Meanwhile, 1,200 of the 4,300 seats in the temporary arena being built on the South Lawn will go to service members.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The nearby Ellipse viewing party and fan fest can accommodate up to 85,000 fans, White told Trump in the Time article.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The weigh-in will be conducted at the Lincoln Memorial, The New York Times reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There is a loose thread among the aforementioned stars. They are all fight fans. Johnson, Statham and Lopez have all played guys who kick butt on the big screen or small. (Martial arts enthusiast Lopez, if you\u2019ll recall, played a high school wrestler on \u201cSaved by the Bell.\u201d)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It wasn\u2019t entirely clear if the celebrities had confirmed their attendance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

celebrity.land is reaching out to their reps to ask about their status for the event.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
