Josh Hokit added to UFC White House card after Donald Trump and Joe Rogan plead with Dana White

Josh Hokit will fight on the UFC White House card after a request from Donald Trump.

On Saturday, Josh Hokit capped off a memorable UFC 327 fight week with a blockbuster win over Curtis Blaydes to remain undefeated.

The 28-year-old has stollen all the headlines this week due to his antics at media day when he attempted to spark an altercation with Jiri Prochazka, along with his performance at the press conference.

His crazy antics and his incredible fight with Blaydes, though, have earned him a surprising spot on the UFC White House event this coming June.

Dana White adds Josh Hokit vs Derrick Lewis to White House card

Following the fight, Joe Rogan asked on the Paramount broadcast whether it is too late to add ‘The Incredible Hok’ to the historic White House card.

And Rogan’s prayers were answered as UFC boss Dana White was sat cageside with Donald Trump taking in the action in Miami.

And following arguably the craziest fight of all time, Trump turned to White and asked him why popular heavyweight contender Derrick Lewis isn’t on the historic June 14 card.

“I’ve got one for you guys, I’m sure you guys just saw the Hokit fight, right?” White said during an Instagram live.

“So about an hour ago, the president leaned over to me and said ‘why isn’t Derrick Lewis on the White House card’, and I said ‘hold on a second Mr President’.

“I stepped away and called Derrick Lewis and said ‘Derrick, the President just asked me why you’re not on the card, do you wanna fight on the White House card?’ he said, ‘of course I do’.

“Then the Hokit fight plays out and Joe Rogan says, is there still room on the White House card? I went back and talked to him, Hokit vs Derrick Lewis was just added to the White House card in the last 10 minutes. President Trump built half the fight, Joe Rogan built the other.

“Both guys have accepted and agreed to fight so we’re adding one more to the White House. Pretty badass how that came together organically.”
