Sean Strickland and Nina-Marie Daniele get into online banter over Francia James: "Just keep your eyes up!"

Sean Strickland and Nina-Marie Daniele have just engaged in a bit of humorous jousting on X, where they referenced one of Daniele's fellow social media influencers, Francia James. The latter is known for her staredowns with fighters, challenging them not to look at her chest.

In the past, Strickland joked that the only reason he allowed himself to be interviewed by Daniele was due to her physical appearance and Instagram following. Naturally, Daniele opined that he should take part in a staredown with James, responding to a tweet Strickland had made about her.

"You know what MMA personality I don't get is the girl who does face off with the big t*t's. What is the concept "try not to look down" lmao yall I wouldn't even try to win that game lmao"

Daniele, however, believes that there is comedic value in a staredown between James and Strickland, who is known for being unable to filter his thoughts from his words.

"My girl Francety is the absolute BEST! We need a Sean Strickland X Francety collab! Just keep your eyes up! You can do it @SStricklandMMA LOL @francety"

Whether the pair's brief interaction on X was foreshadowing the aforementioend collaboration or was merely a suggestion on Daniele's part remains to be seen.

For now, though, Strickland is focused on reclaiming his UFC middleweight title from the winner of the Dricus du Plessis vs. Israel Adesanya title fight at UFC 305.
