“Eric Trump sent direct messages to broadcaster Daniel Cormier asking if the UFC fights at the White House were rigged.”

The viral screenshots purporting to show a direct message conversation between Eric Trump and UFC commentator Daniel Cormier, in which Trump allegedly asks about 'rigged' fights and insider betting information, have been debunked. Both parties involved have explicitly denied the exchange. Eric Trump stated that the messages were 'completely fake' and suggested they were AI-generated. Daniel Cormier, who initially posted the screenshots before deleting them, later confirmed to media outlets that he did not post them and that his account had been compromised. Multiple reputable news organizations have reported on these denials, confirming that the alleged conversation did not occur.
