Dana White announced during UFC 327 that Derrick Lewis will face Josh Hockett at a UFC event scheduled to take place at the White House. The announcement was made directly during the broadcast after a request from Donald Trump, who was sitting nearby. White made the matchup official on the spot in response to the President's appeal. This represents an unprecedented venue for a UFC event and demonstrates Trump's direct influence on UFC matchmaking decisions. The fight will be part of a special card held at the presidential residence.
