Eric Trump, the oldest of President Donald Trump’s sons, was allegedly texting a UFC insider about whether any of the fights on the “UFC Freedom 250” event card were “rigged,” according to a new report.
Daniel Cormier, a UFC commentator, shared images on his X account of Trump texting him for information about whether any fighters were injured ahead of their matches, as well as other information he could use to place bets.
“I’ll just cut to the chase. Are any of the fights tomorrow rigged?” one image showed Trump asking Cormier. “I’ve been eyeing the Lopes fight and I think an upset wouldn’t be too unrealistic $$”
Screen grabs of the since-deleted post were reshared by several MMA fan accounts, and MMA journalist Adam Martin confirmedthat he, too, had seen the original post before it was taken down.
Martin also questioned the authenticity of Cormier’s original post.
“I will say that the DMs from Trump were a bit weird,” Martin wrote on X. “I do wonder if he got hacked and some hacker sent the DMs to DC. But DC’s post 100% was legit. He pulled the classic Jon Jones ‘tweet and delete’ move. Hopefully, he comments on this sometime tonight. DC didn’t do anything wrong [by the way].”
Cormier seemed to respond to the speculation that Trump had sought inside information from him in a cryptic post on X.
“Are people really this dumb?” Cormier asked.
