UFC President Dana White announced a heavyweight bout between Derrick Lewis and Josh Hokit for the upcoming White House event during UFC 327. The fight announcement was made live during the event broadcast. According to the post, the matchup was arranged following a direct request from U.S. President Donald Trump, who was seated ringside next to White during the event. This represents a rapid turnaround booking for Hokit, who had just competed on the same card in his Fight of the Night performance against Curtis Blaydes. The White House UFC event represents an unprecedented venue for a mixed martial arts promotion.
