Dana White reveals last-minute fight added to White House card during UFC 327

Dana White shared the story of how a fight was organized for the upcoming White House event in literally one hour during UFC 327. White asked if a fighter wanted to compete at the White House event, and the fighter immediately agreed, asking White to thank the president. White instructed matchmaker Mick Maynard to find a fight for Derrick Lewis, initially planning to discuss it the following week. However, when Joe Rogan mentioned the White House card during the broadcast, White scrambled to secure another bout. Maynard was sent to speak with Terrance McKinney, who was being loaded into an ambulance at the time but still gave his consent to fight. The impromptu matchmaking demonstrates the fast-paced nature of UFC event planning.
