Eric Trump denies DMs to Daniel Cormier seeking UFC info

Eric Trump denied messaging Daniel Cormier for inside UFC information, calling screenshots that circulated online AI-generated fakes.

The screenshots, which appeared to show direct messages from Trump to the former two-division UFC champion, spread across social platforms before Trump posted a response on X. "This is completely fake! I have never reached out to Daniel," he wrote, per Sherdog. "In fact, this is scary."

Cormier deletes original post

Trump followed up with a second statement claiming the images were fabricated. "We are aware of the fake, AI generated screenshots being circulated online," he said. "I have never spoken to Daniel. He has since deleted his post, which confirms it was clearly fabricated."

Cormier, who works as a UFC commentator and analyst, removed the post without public comment on the deletion. The images had sparked speculation about potential White House interest in UFC fight details or behind-the-scenes access.

Neither Trump nor Cormier elaborated on whether any investigation into the origin of the screenshots is underway.
