Josh Hockit will face Derrick Lewis at UFC White House 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 the fight. Hockit accepted the bout immediately before being sent to the hospital following his contest with Curtis Blaydes. This represents a quick turnaround booking for the heavyweight contender. The fight will take place at the special White House event in June.
