UFC President Dana White announced a heavyweight bout between Derrick Lewis and Josh Hockett for the upcoming White House event during the UFC 327 broadcast. The fight was arranged after a direct request from former President Donald Trump, who was seated next to White at the event. This on-the-spot booking demonstrates Trump's influence and involvement in the historic White House UFC card. Hockett had just earned Fight of the Night honors for his performance against Curtis Blaydes at UFC 327. The announcement adds another significant matchup to what is shaping up to be a landmark UFC event at the White House.
