Donald Trump’s son accused of seeking betting information ahead of UFC White House event
Trump’s Son Accused of Seeking Betting Information
The UFC’s historic White House event has been hit by a massive controversy as former UFC champion Daniel Cormier allegedly accused US President Donald Trump’s son, Eric Trump, of seeking information about the fighters to make bets on them.
Cormier shared multiple screenshots of Eric messaging him and asking about the fighters and who would win at the UFC White House event. The former UFC champion also wrote that he would probably get a lot of flak for bringing this to light, but that he refused to stay silent.
“The UFC is a sport that I am deeply passionate about. I will not tolerate this type of insider behavior. Shame on anyone trying to ruin this beautiful event,” he added.
Post Deleted Amid Social Media Uproar
Cormier deleted the post after 15 minutes, but it had already blown up across social media. When asked about the incident by a UFC spokesperson, he said he had no knowledge of the exchange.
Eric also asked Cormier whether he was placing bets, and in response, the UFC star told him that as the commentator of the event, he is not allowed to bet on any fight.
Eric asked several questions to Cormier related to the fighters, such as whether any fighter was injured or if any fight was rigged in the event. “No, none of our fights is rigged. And honestly, I am appalled that you would even ask me something like that,” Cormier replied.
Following the Cormier post, Eric clarified that the allegations were completely fake and that he never reached out to Cormier.
UFC White House Started with Exciting Knockouts
The UFC White House commenced with a bang as featherweight fighter Diego Lopes didn’t hold back and knocked out Steve Garcia in the second round. With the win, Lopes also became the first fighter to win a fight in the White House.
In the second fight of the event, local fighter Bo Nical also wasted no time and knocked out Kyle Daukaus in the first round.
