The UFC is adding some star power to its upcoming mega event, the UFC Freedom 250 Fan Fest, which will be held in Washington, D.C., in June and culminates with the White House event on June 14. The Fan Fest will include live music, meet and greets, on-stage entertainment, interactive experiences, and appearances from UFC athletes and celebrities. The event is set to be held on The Ellipse and will also include a live watch party of fights being held nearby. UFC parent company TKO Group Holdings is footing the bill for the event, which may lose $30 million even after offsetting costs through sponsorships.
