Eric Trump Denies UFC Fix Claims After Viral DMs
Eric Trump called the screenshots AI-generated, while Daniel Cormier said his account may have been hacked and the messages remain unverified.
- Hours before Sunday's UFC Freedom 250 at the White House, UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier deleted a post sharing alleged direct messages from Eric Trump asking if fights were "rigged."
- The UFC Freedom 250 event, held on the White House South Lawn to honor America's 250th birthday, has faced significant scrutiny from a lawsuit filed by the Public Integrity Project arguing the event grants the UFC "unfettered access" to taxpayer-funded landmarks.
- Eric Trump told Wall Street Journal reporter Brian Schwartz that Cormier admitted the post "was a fake," while Trump Organization spokesperson Kimberly Benza denounced the screenshots as "fabricated" and "AI generated."
- Despite the social media controversy and weather-related delays, the seven-fight card proceeded Sunday night on the South Lawn, with thousands of spectators witnessing interim heavyweight title bouts.
- A federal judge declined to block the controversial event in a ruling issued Friday, though the spectacle continues fueling debates over presidential use of government property for commercial ventures.
