Israel Adesanya recently praised Nina-Marie Daniele for her interviewing skills following a spirited verbal exchange he had with a reporter during the UFC 305 media day.

'The Last Stylebender' is set to challenge UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis in the headlining fight of the upcoming pay-per-view event, scheduled to take place this weekend at the RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia.

Adesanya is returning to active competition after the longest break of his UFC career, a period he used to focus on his mental well-being following a surprising title loss to Sean Strickland in a short-notice bout at UFC 293 in September 2023.

During fight week media interactions, Adesanya grew visibly irritated when a reporter repeated a question about UFC CEO Dana White’s statement regarding Strickland getting the next title shot against the winner of the UFC 305 main event— a question he had already addressed earlier.

The Nigerian-born Kiwi later turned to X and shared a compilation video of the incident. He captioned the post:

"Been refreshing to come back to the circus. Reporters are getting better, but this guy…this guy failed, lol. Better luck next time."

A short while later, 'The Last Stylebender' posted on X again, this time urging Daniele to upload the uncut version of their interview. He expressed that his conversation with the MMA content creator was the most engaging interview he had given during the entire fight week:

"Speaking of reporters, I’m not one for drama, but @ninamdrama had one of the better ones this week. Drop the full interview between you and I. Raw, no condom."

Daniele has quickly risen to fame for her lighthearted interviewing style. She is well-known for posing unconventional questions to fighters, often uncovering sides of them that are rarely seen by most fans.

Former UFC middleweight fighter Darren Till reacted to Adesanya's request for Daniele by commenting, "That’s weird."
