Dana White recounted how a fight for the White House event card was arranged in under an hour during UFC 327. After securing Derrick Lewis's agreement to compete, White planned to finalize details the following week. However, when Joe Rogan asked on the broadcast if there was room on the White House card, White immediately sent matchmaker Mick Maynard to speak with Josh Hokit. Hokit agreed to the bout while being loaded into an ambulance following his fight. The impromptu arrangement demonstrates the fast-paced, opportunistic nature of UFC matchmaking.
