Owner of the popular MMA channel, The Nina Drama, Nina Marie Daniele is the new victim of a conspiracy theory revolving around curses within the fan community of the combat sport. Daniele has a unique approach of making vlogs and interviews with the MMA fighters, where she is seeing in a sparring match with the fighters while having a conversation with them simultaneously. In a recent vlog with Martin Vettori, Daniele decided to get back to the fans and haters with her “new UFC contract" ahead of the UFC Fight Night 254.

Nina Marie Daniele slams critics and fans with her reply on the Nina Curse effect

Nina Marie Daniele has been wrapped in criticism for quite a while now. Even in her recent interview with Magomed Ankalaev, she was heavily criticized for sharing a clip that revealed Ankalaev owning a coffee shop.

While she excitedly uploaded the clip, it backfired, with fans trolling her for eagerly sharing information that is already known to all.
“Can you please try to be original with your content? I’ve seen three million people cover this coffee shop already…”

“Never would’ve thought”

While this went on, Daniele decided to get back to the strawweight fighter Diana Belbita, when the latter took to X and posted casually how the Nina Curse is real, post Alex Pereira’s defeat.
“I respect you as a fighter so I won’t say anything bad. How am I a curse when I filmed as many videos with Alex as I did with Ankalaev? Please elaborate. You should focus more on training and less on tweeting negativity. Focus on your fight with Dione Barbosa… you have a tough challenge ahead. Wish you the best.”

However, this has not stopped the fans from speculating that whoever goes on her channel, ends up losing the upcoming fight. Daniele has recently uploaded a vlog of hers with Martin Vettori, who is preparing up for his bout at the UFC Fight Night 254 against Roman Dolidze. Before fans could speculate another loss owing to Daniele’s vlog, she talked about signing a contract with Vettori that frees her of any allegation if the fighter loses the bout.
“So, I’ve created a contract that says, there’s no ‘Nina Drama curse’. And if you lose, it’s your fault. It’s not my fault if you lose.”, she added the disclaimer on her vlog with Martin Vettori.

While Daniele did her best to get rid of the Nina Curse allegation, we can only see if it turns out to be true again at the UFC Fight Night 254. All eyes are on the main card as Vettori faces Dolidze in this rematch.
