Daniele remains one of the most polarizing figures in MMA media. Her fans argue that her comedic, casual approach brings out sides of fighters rarely seen in formal interviews.

Meanwhile, some critics argue that her content relies on humor over journalistic skills. They have also questioned whether her popularity overshadows more experienced reporters. Internet jokes and claims of a “Nina curse” have only added to the controversy, where netizens pointed out that fighters tend to lose after getting interviewed by her.

UFC 323 goes down this weekend on Dec. 6, 2025, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili is chasing history as he takes on Petr Yan in the main event. With a potential victory this Saturday, Dvalishvili will set the record for most title defenses (4) in a calendar year by a champion in UFC history.
