Josh Hewitt will face Derrick Lewis at UFC White House on June 14, as announced by Dana White during a live broadcast. The fight was requested by President Donald Trump, who watched Hewitt's performance from the front row and personally asked White to organize the matchup. Hewitt accepted the bout immediately before being transported to the hospital following his fight with Curtis Blaydes. Trump's direct involvement in matchmaking represents an unusual circumstance in UFC history. The June 14 event at the White House adds a unique political dimension to the heavyweight clash.
