    How is this relevant to politics? This is celeb gossip at best. Sean Strickland the US middle weight champ was also banned from the event for constantly calling trump a pedo and being very anti Isreal and very antisemitic (real). This event is going to be humiliation for the UFC.

        Its been announced months ago. This doesn’t add anything new except a few celebs turned it down. There is no political relevance to be had about The Rock, Leto and Sandler turning down a UFC invite. You’re welcome to think its a high quality political thread but I just think it sucks.

          I disagree, it’s relevant because it’s more indication that Trump is losing his sway. A year ago half of those names would have attended, by snubbing Trump there’s a message there.

          Yes, I too wish that celebrities had nothing to do with politics but given the president himself is a reality TV star, that’s the world we live in.

            Hes polling at rock bottom but it’s still a sold out event
