Nina-Marie Daniele had a tense social media interaction with a female UFC fighter after Alex Pereira's recent defeat

In recent years, Nina-Marie Daniele's interactions with fighters and her social media content during fight week have become a notable part of the UFC experience. During the UFC 313 fight week, Daniele interviewed Alex Pereira and created several videos for fans.

After Pereira lost the light heavyweight title to Magomed Ankalaev in the main event, UFC strawweight Diana Belbita took to X and suggested that Daniele's interactions may have cursed Pereira, implying this influenced his loss. She wrote:

"We have a new curse. Nina Drama curse. #UFC313"

Daniele did not take Belbita's comments lightly and replied:

"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."

Belbita did not intend to insult or make fun of Daniele. In response to Daniele's post, Belbita apologized and recognized her contributions to MMA media. Notably, fans have also associated Mark Zuckerberg's presence with Pereira's loss, naming it the 'Mark Zuckerberg curse'.
