Dana White reveals how UFC organized Derrick Lewis fight within an hour at arena

Dana White shared the behind-the-scenes story of how the UFC arranged an additional fight for the White House event during UFC 327. White asked a fighter if he wanted to compete at the White House card and received immediate agreement. He instructed matchmaker Mick Maynard to find a bout for Derrick Lewis, initially planning to discuss it the following week. However, when Joe Rogan asked on air during the broadcast if there was room on the White House card, White scrambled to make it happen. Maynard was sent to speak with another fighter who was being loaded into an ambulance at the time, and that fighter also agreed to compete.
