UFC fans think White House fight is 'done' after seeing sparring footage

UFC fans have already reached a verdict on one fight that'll take place at the White House after watching new training footage online.

The South Lawn of the White House will see combat sports' biggest names thrown down on the UFC Freedom 250 card on June 14th.

Scheduled on the same day as President Donald Trump's 80th birthday, UFC head honcho Dana White has put together a card that's got fight aficionados across the globe excited.

Ilia Topuria will defend his lightweight title against interim champion Justin Gaethje in the main event.

Meanwhile, Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane will do battle for the interim heavyweight title in another headline clash.

It's elsewhere on the billing that everyone's already got a clear winner.

Josh Hokit will face veteran Derrick Lewis at heavyweight, although many don't think Hokit has a chance if a recent training clip is anything to go by.

In the footage below, 'The Incredible Hok' can be seen trading blows with a partner and failing to drop him with any significant impact. Hokit's unnamed foe managed to clock him with a few tasty strikes of his own, too.

Fans react to Hokit's training footage

The clip, which has circulated on Reddit among UFC fans, has seen everyone back Lewis to bring Hokit's unbeaten record to an end.

One person said: "So Lewis by uppercut knockout," while another added: "He don't wanna be eating those shots from Lewis, lmao."

A third commented: "God, the Heavyweight division is so unfathomably terrible right now," while someone declared: "Stuck in the mud head movement. Not the one."

Hokit is currently 3-0 in the UFC after winning a contract on Dana White's Contender Series in August 2025. He caused controversy at a press conference earlier this month, which saw him removed by security after insulting his fellow fighters and almost starting a brawl with Topuria.

When asked about Hokit's behaviour, White said: "I don’t want any of these guys getting hurt over stupid s**t that means nothing with guys that are never going to fight each other.

"It’s not like Ilia Topuria and Hokit are going to end up fighting.

"I think that whole thing [Hokit does] is goofy anyway, but the guy went out and performed."
