Screenshots of alleged private messages between Eric Trump and former UFC champion Daniel Cormier began circulating online, claiming Trump had asked about fighter injuries and whether any fights were “rigged” ahead of the event.
The images quickly went viral, sparking intense debate among MMA fans and political commentators. However, Eric Trump strongly denied the claims, calling the screenshots completely fake and accusing artificial intelligence of generating the messages.
“This is completely fabricated,” Trump said. “I have never contacted Daniel Cormier. The rise of AI-generated misinformation is becoming increasingly concerning.”
The situation became even more confusing when Cormier appeared to distance himself from the viral posts, leading many to question whether his account had been compromised or whether the screenshots were fake from the beginning.
As of now, there is no definitive evidence proving the messages were authentic, and both Trump and Cormier have publicly suggested the screenshots were not genuine.
Despite the denials, the controversy has become one of the most talked-about moments surrounding the UFC event, leaving fans divided and searching for answers about what really happened behind the scenes.
