Dana White arranged Derrick Lewis fight for White House card during UFC 327

Dana White revealed how he organized an additional fight for the upcoming White House event card in approximately one hour during UFC 327. White asked Derrick Lewis if he wanted to compete at the event, and Lewis agreed, asking White to thank the president. White instructed Mick Maynard to find Lewis a fight, initially planning to discuss it the following week. However, when Joe Rogan mentioned during the UFC 327 broadcast whether there was room on the White House card, White immediately grabbed Maynard and sent him to speak with Josh Hockett. Hockett agreed to the fight while being placed in an ambulance after his bout. The story illustrates the spontaneous nature of fight matchmaking in the UFC.
