Dana White announced a fight between Derrick Lewis and Josh Emmett for the upcoming UFC event at the White House during the live UFC 327 broadcast. The matchmaking decision came after a direct appeal from Donald Trump, who was sitting next to White at the event. White made the announcement in real-time during the ongoing card. This represents an unusual instance of a sitting president influencing UFC matchmaking decisions at a live event. The fight will take place at the previously announced White House UFC event, though the exact date was not specified in this announcement.
