Dana White announced during the UFC 327 broadcast that Derrick Lewis will face Josh Emmett at the upcoming White House event. The fight booking was made in direct response to a request from President Donald Trump, who was sitting next to White at the event. The matchup represents a heavyweight bout between Lewis and Emmett, who typically competes at featherweight, though the post suggests Emmett may be moving up in weight. This announcement came in real-time during the live broadcast. The White House event represents an unprecedented venue for UFC fights.
