Cormier, a UFC hall of Famer, shared screenshots of the messages in which Trump allegedly asked if the fights were rigged, specifically mentioning an upset in the Lopes fight. Cormier publicly denounced the messages, emphasizing his passion for UFC and condemning insider behaviour that could tarnish the sport&#8217;s reputation. After removing his original post, Cormier cryptically questioned people&#8217;s intelligence regarding the incident. the UFC event at the White House on Sunday was held to celebrate America&#8217;s 250th birthday and President Trump&#8217;s 80th birthday, featuring fighters like Diego Lopes, who defeated Steve Garcia.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/eric-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"1042\">Eric Trump<\/a> is claiming social media direct messages between him and former UFC star\u00a0Daniel Cormier\u00a0in which he purportedly asks Cormier whether any of the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/white-house\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"8767\">White House <\/a>UFC Freedom 250 fights were rigged were <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >artificial intelligence-generated<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is completely fake,\u201d Trump wrote on X on Sunday. \u201cI have never reached out to Daniel.
