Dwayne Johnson and other celebs skip UFC Freedom 250 at White House

Dwayne Johnson, Adam Sandler, Jared Leto, and Mario Lopez have reportedly declined invitations to the UFC Freedom 250 event scheduled for June 14 at the White House. The event will feature seven fights, although the specific reasons for the celebrities' absence remain unclear. Tickets for the event are scarce, with about 4,300 available in a temporary arena. The UFC's CEO Dana White noted that 1,000 tickets were allocated to President Donald Trump, while he holds another 200. The event has drawn mixed reactions, with the potential for significant media attendance but a noticeable lack of high-profile celebrity interest.
