Eric Trump denies asking UFC commentator if White House fights were 'rigged'

Eric Trump denies asking UFC commentator if White House fights were 'rigged' Eric Trump says screenshots of an alleged conversation between himself and UFC commentator Daniel Cormier, which saw him ask about 'rigged' fights, are 'completely fake' Eric Trump has denied asking a UFC commentator whether any fights at his father's birthday event at the White House would be rigged. The now-deleted screenshots showed an alleged message exchange between commentator Daniel Cormier and Trump, who asked if any of the fighters at Sunday's match were injured and if any of the fights would be "rigged". Sharing the screenshots publicly, Cormier wrote: "I'm probably going to get a lot of flak for bringing this to light, however I refuse to stay silent. Shame on anyone trying to ruin this beautiful event." Trump, 42, was quick to deny the allegations, saying the screenshots were "AI-generated" and "fake". "This is completely fake! I have never reached out to Daniel. In fact, this is scary," he wrote on X. In the messages, the account appearing as Eric Trump asks: "I'll just cut to the chase...are any of the fights tomorrow rigged? I've been eyeing the Lopes fight and I think an upset wouldn’t be too unrealistic. $$." Cormier is seen responding: "No none of our fights rigged and honestly I am appalled you would even ask me something like that." In a series of posts online, Trump said his team were "aware of the fake, AI generated screenshots" which had been circulated. He said: "I have never spoken to Daniel. He has since deleted his post, which confirms it was clearly fabricated," tagging the UFC and the company's CEO Dana White.
