  "textContent": "Hollywood A-listers, sports legends and American heroes are heading to the White House as the guest list for UFC Freedom 250 takes shape.\n\nThe June 14 fights are set to celebrate America's 250th anniversary and President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday, but who will be attending the event?\n\nApproximately 4,300 seats surround the temporary Octagon on the South Lawn, with at least 1,200 of them being set aside for active military members.\n\nTrump's Marine Band, the media and military personnel will also be in attendance, with remaining seats being divided between guests of the White House, TKO and the UFC.\n\nUFC President Dana White has invited Adam Sandler, Guy Ritchie, Tom Brady, Jared Leto, Jason Statham, Dwayne \"The Rock\" Johnson, and Mario Lopez, according to a report by Time Magazine. It is unclear if the celebrities have accepted the invitation.\n\nPresident Donald Trump is also expected to make an appearance, but it has yet to be announced if First Lady Melania Trump or any other members of the Trump family will attend.\n\n## Soldier invites\n\nHundreds of service members have received official requests to attend the UFC match in uniform.\n\nHowever, only service members who meet a certain height and weight requirement will receive the tickets, according to several reports and an alleged Pentagon memo that reads, \"Ticket recipients are required to meet the WHtR standard of less than 0.55, as well as service-specific physical fitness test requirements.\"\n\n## Fan Fest\n\nFor fans who didn't get an invitation to the South Lawn, UFC is hosting a free Fan Fest leading up to the main event, along with a watch party on fight night.\n\nWhite is expecting massive numbers for the viewing party, reportedly telling Trump that the Ellipse can hold up to 85,000 people.",
