Dana White announced a fight between Derrick Lewis and Josh Hockert for the upcoming UFC event at the White House, with the matchup made during the UFC 327 broadcast. The fight was organized following a direct request from US President Donald Trump, who was sitting ringside near White during the announcement. This represents a rare instance of a sitting president directly influencing UFC matchmaking at an event. The White House event has already generated significant attention as a historic venue for the promotion. Details about the specific date and other fights on the card were not included in this announcement.
