Dana White announced during the UFC 327 broadcast that Derrick Lewis will face Josh Hockit at the upcoming White House event. The matchup was made following a direct request from Donald Trump, who was seated ringside next to White during the announcement. Trump personally asked for Hockit to compete at the White House event after witnessing his performance. This represents an unusual instance of a sitting president directly influencing UFC matchmaking decisions during a live event.
