Josh Hockit will meet Derrick Lewis at the UFC White House event on June 14, as announced by Dana White during a live broadcast. The matchup was initiated by President Donald Trump, who watched Hockit's performance from the front row and personally requested Dana organize this fight. Hockit accepted the bout immediately before being taken to the hospital following his contest with Curtis Blaydes. Trump's direct involvement in making this fight represents an unusual intersection of politics and UFC matchmaking.
