Trump among long celebrity guest list for McGregor-Poirier fight
Read on the website Vestnik KavkazaUFC 264 will have no shortage of famous attendees, according to promotion president Dana White.
In an interview with MMA Junkie, White said Saturday’s event – headlined by a trilogy between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier – is expected to have more celebrities in attendance than any event in UFC history. On Wednesday, White revealed a portion of the guest list to TSN.
Among those expected to sit cageside at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas are former President Donald Trump, pop superstar Justin Bieber, comedian Dave Chappelle, NBA star Kevin Durant, NFL star Odell Beckham Jr., rapper-turned-rocker Machine Gun Kelly, actress and model Megan Fox, reality series star Kourtney Kardashian, and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker.
A longtime friend of White, Trump became the first U.S. president past or present to attend a UFC event when he sat cageside at UFC 244 in November 2019. The event was headlined by the promotion’s lone “BMF” title fight between avid-Trump supporter Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz.
UFC 264 takes place July 10 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
