Quick read
UFC CEO Dana White described how the promotion organized an additional fight for their upcoming White House event in just one hour during UFC 327. White explained that he asked Derrick Lewis if he wanted to compete at the White House, and Lewis immediately agreed. Initially they planned to finalize the matchup the following week, but after Josh Hokit's performance at UFC 327, Joe Rogan asked on air if there was still room on the White House card. White then sent matchmaker Mick Maynard to speak with Hokit, who was being loaded into an ambulance at the time, and Hokit agreed to the fight. The rapid arrangement demonstrates the spontaneous nature of fight-making at the highest level of the sport.
