Dana White admitted that the UFC 306 main event bantamweight title fight does not have a backup fighter, prompting Nina-Marie Daniele to make her campaign for the position jokingly. In her latest skit, Daniele showed off her dancing skills while walking to the Octagon and saying she is "ready" to back up either Sean O'Malley or Merab Dvalishvili.
While she has no legitimate MMA or martial arts experience, 'Nina Drama' loves collaborating with fighters in her videos as comedic content. Daniele included several other UFC staff members in her latest clip, including sideline reporter Megan Olivi, several cameramen, and a cut-man to make her skit more realistic.
The influencer captioned her post:
"Rate my dancing skills 1-10 LOL. I'm ready to serve as the backup fighter for UFC 306"

Only fans and adult film model Fancia James, who has been influential in the MMA world before, also commented on the skit, calling it the "best entrance in UFC history."
