Daniel Cormier debunks false images of Eric Trump questioning if UFC fights are fixed

UFC Incident Involving Eric Trump and Daniel Cormier

In Washington, a screenshot surfaced from Daniel Cormier’s social media account, allegedly showing Eric Trump probing about potential rigging of a UFC fight during an event held on the White House lawn. However, Eric Trump quickly dismissed the image as AI-generated, claiming he had never reached out to Cormier.

Cormier, a notable figure in the UFC world and now a television analyst, removed the post and expressed disbelief, questioning, “Are people really that stupid?” Not long after, his account reportedly got hacked during the UFC Freedom 250 event, leading to involvement in a cryptocurrency scam.

“This is insane. I can’t believe it. Who would think it’s real?” Cormier remarked in a video while mingling with fans in DC.

Before deleting a tweet, Cormier asserted he wouldn’t stay quiet about corrupt practices, emphasizing he would not endorse the shaming of those spoiling such a significant occasion.

In the alleged exchange, Trump was purportedly inquiring if any players were injured, to which Cormier replied, “I think they’re all in good shape.” Trump then pointedly asked about match-fixing for the upcoming game. Cormier’s response was firm, “No, none of our games were match-fixed. Honestly, I’m appalled that you would even ask me such a thing.” This conversation, if true, is quite baffling.

The post remained online only briefly before being taken down but quickly spread through various platforms, recorded and shared by other users.

Eric Trump, in response, insisted, “This is completely fake! I’ve never contacted Daniel. This is actually scary.” Shortly after, Cormier’s account began pushing out erratic content about cryptocurrency schemes, solidifying concerns about the acknowledged hack.

The UFC organization opted not to comment on the incident, which occurred as it conducted several fights in a makeshift arena set up on the South Lawn of the White House.
