Dana White reveals last-minute fight additions for White House event during UFC 327

Dana White shared the story of how two additional fights for the upcoming White House event were organized within hours during UFC 327. White asked Derrick Lewis if he wanted to compete at the White House, and Lewis immediately agreed, thanking 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 the broadcast if there was still room on the White House card, White immediately grabbed Maynard and sent him to speak with Steve Erceg. Erceg agreed to fight even while being loaded into an ambulance after his bout. The rapid-fire matchmaking exemplified the spontaneous nature that makes the sport exciting for fans.
