UFC commentator Daniel Cormier has claimed that he got ‘hacked or something’ concerning his now-deleted X post related to US President Donald Trump’s son Eric Trump ahead of last night’s UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House.
Hours before UFC Freedom 250, Cormier took to social media to post screenshots of his DM exchange with Eric Trump. In the screenshots, Eric could be seen asking the UFC veteran about the potential for “rigged fights,” information about the fighters, and whether Cormier was placing bets on the matches.
In response, Cormier said that none of the fights were rigged and was appalled that Eric even asked him something like that. In his X post, Cormier wrote that he wouldn’t tolerate “this type of inside behavior.”
However, Cormier deleted the post shortly after Eric refuted his claims, labeling the DM screenshots as AI-generated and claiming that he never reached out to the former UFC Heavyweight Champion.
“This is completely fake. I have never reached out to Daniel. In fact, this is scary.”

Cormier later posted, “Are people really this dumb?” However, several journalists, including Ryan Fredreck of Wrestling Observer, verified that Cormier did post the tweet.
