Quick read
Dana White shared the story of how the UFC arranged an additional fight for the upcoming White House event in just about an hour during UFC 327. White asked if the fighter wanted to compete at the White House event, and he enthusiastically agreed, saying to "thank the president." White then instructed matchmaker Mick Maynard to find a fight for Derrick Lewis, initially planning to discuss it the following week. However, when Joe Rogan mentioned during the broadcast whether there was room on the White House card, White grabbed Maynard and sent him to speak with Josh Hockitt. Hockitt, who was being loaded into an ambulance at the time, gave his consent to fight on the card.
