Nina-Marie Daniele's nickname, 'Nina Drama', seems fitting these days. In light of the rumors circulating that she's been fired from the UFC, fans have been speculating that she was fired due to a recent heated back-and-forth with The MMA Guru on social media.

However, Daniele doesn't appear fazed by the rumors. She posted an Instagram story to confirm that she's still employed by the UFC, with the caption:

"I guess the UFC didn't fire me LOL. Thank you @danawhite @ufc"

The online beef between Nina-Marie Daniele and The MMA Guru explained

The rumors started circulating after the heated online beef between Nina-Marie Daniele and fellow MMA social media personality The MMA Guru made waves online.

The online beef started when Daniele called out The MMA Guru for "indecent and despicable" comments regarding MMA journalist Amy Kaplan. While seemingly on Kaplan's side, The MMA Guru got heat from calling out the cameraman for focusing on the female reporter's figure during the UFC 307 press conference last month.

Daniele went on a rage-filled rant after reading The MMA Guru's comment, saying:

"I’ve been keeping my mouth shut about this clout chasing vermin since I started in the UFC and he hasn’t been able to keep my name out his mouth, crying about me like a little bitch on the internet. But for Amy, I had to speak up. I may not be every body’s cup of tea, I might be cringe and annoying and I don’t shy away from using my assets for views... THIS is what makes you so indecent and despicable. So much so that I had to say something. THIS is the reason why you will never make it out that stale basement doing internet interview calls for the rest of your life, prostituting yourself for donations that don’t even cover a premium zoom account."

The MMA Guru then uploaded a 40-minute response on YouTube. In the video, the MMA personality had his bullets in the chamber against Daniele, calling her "sl*t" more than once. The online beef continued for some time but has seemingly dissipated as of this writing.
