Dana White reveals how Derrick Lewis vs Tai Tuivasa was booked during UFC 327

Dana White shared the behind-the-scenes story of organizing an additional fight for the White House event literally within an hour during UFC 327. White asked Derrick Lewis if he wanted to compete at the White House event, and Lewis immediately agreed, telling White to thank the president. White then instructed matchmaker Mick Maynard to find a fight for Lewis, initially planning to discuss details the following week. However, when Joe Rogan asked during the UFC 327 broadcast if there was still room on the White House card, White sprang into action. He sent Maynard to speak with Tai Tuivasa, who was being loaded into an ambulance at the time, and Tuivasa gave his consent to the fight. The rapid booking exemplifies the spontaneous nature that makes MMA exciting.
