Dana White announced during UFC 327 that Derrick Lewis will face Josh Emmett at the upcoming White House event. The fight was arranged after an appeal from Donald Trump, who was sitting next to White during the event. This announcement came shortly after Emmett's performance on the UFC 327 card. The addition brings the White House event card closer to completion. Trump's direct involvement in making this fight highlights the unique nature of the White House UFC event. The matchup pairs heavyweight veteran Lewis against Emmett, who typically competes at a lower weight class.
