Dana White announced during the UFC 327 broadcast that Derrick Lewis will fight Josh Hockit at the upcoming White House event on June 14. The matchup was organized at the direct request of President Donald Trump, who was seated ringside at the event. Trump specifically asked White to make the fight happen after watching Hockit's performance. White confirmed the booking live during the event broadcast. This represents an unusual instance of presidential involvement in UFC matchmaking.
