Sean Strickland lauds Nina-Marie Daniele for accepting no-rules desert race offer: "Bigger b*lls than Schaub"

Sean Strickland has praised Nina-Marie Daniele on social media after the MMA influencer accepted his desert race challenge.

Earlier this week, 'Tarzan' challenged her to a no-rules desert race; only cars on Facebook Marketplace under $1,500 can be used for the contest.

Daniele was quick to accept the former UFC middleweight champion's proposition but had a suggestion of her own:

"Dude f**k yeah, I'm in, but can we use only Fords though? Because I hear that they are very reliable car and America's favorite car."

Suffice it to say, Strickland was impressed with the social media star for accepting his daring challenge. He wrote:

"Bigger balls than [Brendan] Schaub. I'm down. Meh, Ford did us dirty with that speeding trap patent. You get a Ford, I get a freedom vehicle."

For context, Strickland had recently slammed former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub for seemingly panicking during a truck accident.

Daniele has quickly become one of the faces of modern-day MMA reporting with her informal interview style and quirky humor. Her segments with Strickland are especially entertaining, and the pair are known to have a cordial friendship.

Since losing his title in a controversial split decision to Dricus du Plessis at UFC 297, 'Tarzan' returned to the win column with a win over Paulo Costa at UFC 302. Now, with du Plessis besting Israel Adesanya at UFC 305, Strickland is likely next in line for a title shot.

When Sean Strickland made fun of Brendan Schaub's truck accident

Sean Strickland thinks less of Brendan Schaub after the former UFC heavyweight's recent accident.

Schaub was off-roading in the desert when his truck spun out of control and flipped upside down after he seemingly tried to do a donut maneuver. Fortunately, the fighter-turned-comedian was largely unharmed and was able to get out of the flipped-over vehicle.

'Tarzan', however, was unimpressed with how Schaub handled the accident, prompting him to take to X to mock 'Big Brown':

"Y'all... did you see Brendan Schaub flip his truck? The panic in the man's eyes lmao!!! I've handled motorcycle wrecks going 80 better than you handled a roll in a truck lmao. Maybe you should come hang out with me, I'll help you not to be a p***y."
