Fresh off an Academy Award win for Best Actor, Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the famous names popping up on the list of celebrities scheduled to show up for UFC 196 on Saturday night in Las Vegas.

Quarterback Johnny Manziel is also on the VIP list for the card headlined by Conor McGregor against Nate Diaz.

TMZ first reported the news, and additional sources told FOX Sports that DiCaprio and Manziel may make appearances at UFC 196.

Manziel attended UFC 173 in 2014 while DiCaprio has been a longtime fan of the sport, having popped up at a couple of fights.

In addition to DiCaprio and Manziel, the list of celebrities who are scheduled to attend includes Bruno Mars, Gerard Butler, Gordon Ramsay, Josh Brolin, Reggie Bush, Tyga, T-Boz, Marcedes Lewis, Zac Brown and Danny Elfman.

McGregor has stated that he expected the celebrity turnout at his fights to grow larger and larger each time he competes, and if UFC 196 is any indication, he's right on the money.

"Mystic Mac" strikes again.
