Sean Strickland-Nina-Marie Daniele link-ups have been a big hit with MMA fans since their first interview. The duo never fails to deliver a good laugh, and their most recent collaboration seems to have left fight fans in splits.

In a recent volg uploaded to Daniele's YouTube handle, the MMA influencer can be seen cornering 'Tarzan' during a sparring session ahead of his upcoming middleweight title fight rematch with Dricus du Plessis.

The video shows, the model shouting hilariously absurd advice to the former middleweight champion, while his coach Eric Nicksick urges her on.

Some of the highlights of the segments include Daniele cussing at the fighter demanding he increase the volume, and trying to get Strickland riled up by claiming that his opponent was a Kamala Harris supporter.

Sean Strickland tells Nina-Marie Daniele the intent of his teep kicks

The two most potent tools in Sean Strickland's fighting skill set are his laser-sharp jabs and teep kicks. While 'Tarzan' is often criticized by fans for his over-reliance on these two strikes, it seems there is a clear intent behind them.

Walking Daniele through his teep kicks during a recent Volg, the 33-year-old explained how he uses the kicks to set up jabs and other boxing combinations:

"Say you're really good at checking the teep, the good thing about it now is you have the jab. So the teeps, you're not really trying to hit the teep, you are looking to box. The teeps just opens that up."
