A heavyweight bout between Derrick Lewis and undefeated Josh Hokit (9-0) was added to UFC Freedom 250 on June 14, 2026, at the White House South Lawn. The matchup came directly after Hokit's win at UFC 327 on April 11, per a request from President Trump. This latest addition bolsters the historic card commemorating the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence. Lewis, a former title challenger, faces a rising prospect in Hokit, potentially shaking up heavyweight rankings. More fights expected as the card builds toward its CBS/Paramount+ broadcast.
