Add as a preferred source on Google UFC Freedom 250, set for this Sunday at the White House in Washington, D.C., is also creating interest behind the scenes in WWE.

According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, in addition to the stars already booked for Fan Fest, several other WWE names have expressed interest in attending the event, even if not in an official role.

The internal interest is not surprising, as WWE and UFC are both owned by TKO Group Holdings, which has led to more crossover promotion between the two companies in recent years.
Fan Fest will also include meet-and-greet sessions, panels, Q&A events, ceremonial weigh-ins, a Zac Brown Band concert, and a watch party for UFC Freedom 250.
On the main card, the biggest attraction will be the fight between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje, along with a bout involving Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane.
It remains to be seen which WWE names will be able to attend the event beyond those already officially announced for fan activities.
