UFC 264 has no shortage of celebrities to attend, according to promoter Dana White.

In an interview with MMA Junkie on Tuesday, White said Saturday’s event culminated in a trilogy between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier that is expected to have more celebrities in attendance than any event in UFC history. On Wednesday, White announced a portion of the TSN guest list.

Among those expected to sit on the cageside at the 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-turn-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 on the cageside at UFC 244 in November 2019. The event was spearheaded by promotions that one that is against the BMF title between Trump’s staunch supporter Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz. Entering his home state of New York, Trump was greeted with a mixed reception.

In the meantime, White has visited the White House on numerous occasions. He also spoke at the 2016 and 2020 Republican National Con Conventions with messages he repeated on the campaign trail at Trumps rallies before the 2020 election.

UFC 264 takes place Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card flows on ESPN + pay-per-view after the MMA Junkie prelims.
