Josh Hokit and Derrick Lewis have been booked to fight at UFC Freedom 250 after a request from President Donald Trump, adding a seventh bout to the event’s lineup.
The heavyweight matchup will take place at the White House, with DraftKings Sportsbook listing Hokit as a -250 favorite and Lewis as a +205 underdog.
Hokit, who uses controversial alter-egos to promote his fights, previously fought Curtis Blaydes at UFC 327 and also had earlier UFC appearances against Max Gimenis and Denzel Freeman.
Derrick Lewis, described by Dana White as one of Donald Trump's favorite fighters, enters this bout with a 3-2 record in his most recent five fights.
The promotion of Hokit's persona has even drawn specific reference to his "alter-egos."
