Nina Marie Daniele recently called out ‘MMA Guru’ for his ‘fatshaming’ comment about an MMA journalist during a recent UFC 307 press conference. MMA Guru used the picture of Amy Kaplan, a scribe doing her job and made fun of her, which did not sit well with the influencer. However, now, the MMA community is calling out Nina for assumed hypocrisy.
However, given Nina’s own history of controversial and borderline bigoted takes with the likes of Sean Strickland, fans have been asking her to take the activism down a notch.
“But when Strickland says the most wild unhinged stuff and you do nothing but laugh and vibe. You’re intellectually dishonest. You won’t go at Strickland cuz he gets your views”

Yet another fan asked Nina Marie Daniele why she stays quiet when Strickland says offensive things,
“What about sean strickland when he does this shit”

Well Daniele saw all the tweets questioning her legitimacy when her so-called friend Sean Strickland says a lot of unhinged things. So she decided to clear the air.
Nina defends Strickland… Again!
Sean Strickland is probably one of the most unhinged fighters in the UFC at the moment.
From anti-LGBTQ to misogynistic comments, Strickland has done it all and often on a platform provided by Nina herself.
So, after hearing all the backlash from the fans regarding her support of Strickland, the UFC content creator penned a long message defending him,
“Sean says a lot of things I don’t agree with. I’ll call him all the time to delete shit and take it down. Ultimately, when Sean knows he’s wrong he apologizes or takes it down.”
