Former MMA fighter Daniel Cormier has put Eric Trump in an uneasy position after tweeting and then deleting screenshots of his texts. In the texts, Donald Trump's second son could be seen seeking information about the fighters on the UFC Freedom 250 card that he has bet on.
Cormier coupled the post with a scathing caption but later deleted the post. 'I'm probably going to get a lot of flak for bringing this to light, however I refuse to stay silent,' the caption read.
'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.'
According to the screenshots, Eric Trump allegedly asked Cormier: 'Anything you can tell me about the fighters tomorrow? Who you got winning?'
He then followed up with another question: 'Are you placing any bets?' Cormier replied that he was not allowed to bet as he is one of the commentators of the event.
Eric Trump then allegedly tried to circle around to the key question: 'Are any of the fighter injured that you know of?' Cormier replied: 'I'm not quite sure why you're asking me this, but I think they're all in good shape.'
UFC Freedom 250 was postponed by an hour due to bad weather in the Washington DC area. The event will now start at 9pm EST.
