A report claims that Eric Trump, the eldest son of President Donald Trump, allegedly sent text messages to a UFC insider questioning whether fights at a major UFC event were fixed and seeking betting-related information.

According to screenshots shared by UFC commentator Daniel Cormier on the social media platform X, Trump reportedly asked whether any of the bouts on the “UFC Freedom 250” card were “rigged,” and also inquired about fighter injuries ahead of matches.In one of the alleged messages, he mentioned interest in a specific fight and suggested that an upset outcome would not be surprising.The screenshots of the messages were later deleted but were reshared by multiple MMA fan accounts.

MMA journalist Adam Martin said he had seen the original post before it was removed and described the situation as unusual, raising questions about whether the messages were authentic or if Cormier’s account may have been compromised.Martin suggested the possibility of hacking but did not confirm any definitive explanation.Cormier’s post quickly drew attention across MMA communities, prompting speculation and debate online.He later responded to the controversy with a brief and cryptic message on X questioning critics.

At the same time, the situation remained unresolved, with no official confirmation from Eric Trump or UFC representatives regarding the authenticity of the alleged communications.

The incident has fueled broader discussion about betting integrity, insider information in sports, and the reliability of social media posts involving high-profile figures.
