Dana White reveals how Derrick Lewis bout was added to White House card in one hour

Dana White shared the remarkable story of how a Derrick Lewis fight was organized for the upcoming White House event during UFC 327. White explained that he asked Lewis if he wanted to compete at the event, and Lewis immediately agreed, telling White to thank the president. White then instructed matchmaker Mick Maynard to find an opponent for Lewis, initially planning to finalize it the following week. However, when Joe Rogan asked on commentary if there was still room on the White House card, White realized they needed to act immediately. He sent Maynard to speak with Josh Hockit, who was being loaded into an ambulance after his fight. Despite his condition, Hockit agreed to the bout on the spot, completing the matchmaking in approximately one hour.
