UFC White House Card Unchanged After Josh Hokit's Tease Yields Sponsor Plug

The outcome shows how social posts can inflate expectations.

Overview

Josh Hokit teased a “BIG WHITE HOUSE FIGHT ANNOUNCEMENT” on X, which led fans to guess at opponent changes.
He later announced a sponsorship with PlayProphetX rather than a new matchup.
Fans voiced disappointment on social media, calling the reveal a letdown and accusing Hokit of selling out.
The June 14 UFC event at the White House remains a seven-fight card, headlined by Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje, with Hokit still set to face Derrick Lewis.
Hokit vs. Lewis was a late addition that came after President Donald Trump questioned Dana White about Lewis not being on the lineup.
