Deleted Daniel Cormier Post Claims Eric Trump Wanted Insider UFC White House Info [View all]
https://www.si.com/fannation/mma/news/deleted-daniel-cormier-post-claims-eric-trump-wanted-insider-ufc-white-house-infoJust hours before “UFC Freedom 250” goes down at The White House, the event has been hit by a potential scandal involving UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier and Eric Trump.
Following months of buildup, the UFC finally finished installing an Octagon and accompanying arena-style rigging and seating on the South Lawn of The White House less than a week ago ahead of tonight’s seven-fight card, which features two title bouts at the top of the bill.
The biggest storyline during the last day or two has revolved around whether or not the weather in Washington D.C. will allow the outdoor event to go ahead, but on fight night UFC legend and current color commentator Cormier sent the MMA rumor mill ablaze with a now-deleted social media post.
The post was only up for roughly 15 minutes before it was taken down, but the screenshots of alleged Instagram messages from Eric Trump to Cormier and the UFC Hall of Famer’s accompanying statement appeared to be damning, to say the least.
