Derrick Lewis has seen it all in the Octagon, but even "The Black Beast" wasn't prepared for the chaos that erupted at Friday's UFC White House press conference.

The event, which serves as the kickoff for one of the summer's biggest fight cards, brought together all 14 competitors set to compete on June 14. What started as a standard pre-fight media session quickly turned into one of the most unforgettable moments of Lewis's storied career—and that's saying something for a fighter with over 30 UFC bouts.

The source of the pandemonium? Josh Hokit, Lewis's upcoming opponent in a preliminary heavyweight clash. Known for his pro-wrestling-inspired persona, "The Incredible Hok" was in rare form, unleashing a barrage of rhyming insults aimed at both Lewis and light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira. But Hokit's antics escalated to a near-physical confrontation with lightweight champion Ilia Topuria, forcing officials to remove him from the presser.

"I don't know, it was crazy," Lewis told reporter Megan Olivi after the dust settled. "It was probably one of the craziest press conferences I've been a part of."

Despite Hokit's best efforts to rattle the heavyweight veteran, Lewis remained unfazed. The typically stoic fighter shrugged off the verbal jabs, admitting he couldn't even make out what his opponent was saying.

"I really couldn't hear nothing he was saying," Lewis explained. "I tried, I couldn't. I really never watched none of his fights, so I really don't know nothing about him. But I've heard that he's just a clown. That's all."

The main event of UFC White House will feature a lightweight title showdown between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje, but it's clear that the heavyweight undercard bout has already stolen the spotlight—at least when it comes to pre-fight drama. For fans looking to gear up for fight night, this is the kind of story that makes you want to wear your favorite fighter's colors with pride.
