Dana White reveals last-minute UFC White House card additions during UFC 327

Dana White shared how he organized additional fights for the upcoming White House event during UFC 327. White asked Derrick Lewis if he wanted to compete at the White House event, and Lewis immediately agreed, asking White to thank the president. White then instructed matchmaker Mick Maynard to find an opponent for Lewis, initially planning to finalize details the following week. However, when Joe Rogan asked on air during UFC 327 if there was room on the White House card, White realized they needed to act quickly. He sent Maynard to speak with Josh Hocket, who was being loaded into an ambulance after his fight, and Hocket also agreed to compete at the event. The story illustrates the spontaneous nature of fight booking in the UFC.
