Dana White shared the story of how he organized additional fights for the White House event in just one hour during UFC 327. White asked if a fighter wanted to compete at the White House, and the fighter immediately agreed, asking White to thank the president. White then instructed matchmaker Mick Maynard to find a bout for Derrick Lewis. Initially planning to discuss it the following week, plans changed when Joe Rogan asked during the broadcast if there was still room on the White House card. White immediately grabbed Maynard and sent him to speak with Josh Hockett, who was being loaded into an ambulance at the time but gave his consent to fight.
