Trump, Dana White's star-studded White House UFC event draws big names while several invited A-listers skip

From athletes and influencers to political allies and celebrities, President Donald Trump's highly anticipated White House UFC event drew a host of high-profile guests. Still, despite the star-studded crowd, several A-list celebrities reportedly invited to the event were notably absent.

Trump marked his 80th birthday Sunday night with a celebration on the South Lawn, where 14 fighters from around the world competed inside a wire-mesh cage during the UFC Freedom 250 spectacle.
