Sean Strickland questions Nina-Marie Daniele's ethnicity with "DNA test" demand, asks if UFC influencer gets "N-word pass" 

Sean Strickland has mockingly questioned MMA interviewer Nina-Marie Daniele’s ethnicity, demanding a DNA test. The former champion also asked the influencer if she gets the "N-word pass."

The two are close friends and frequently collaborate on videos. Daniele and 'Tarzan' constantly jest with one another, and the UFC fighter recently did another light training session with the polarizing media figure.

Fans and fighters have long questioned Daniele's ethnicity. Leon Edwards previously asked her if she was Arab, while Strickland and Marvin Vettori believed she was Mexican. In actuality, Daniele is an American of French and Italian descent.

The former UFC middleweight champion, known for his outspoken nature, doesn't believe Daniele is Italian. He wrote on X:

"I refuse to accept @ninamdrama isn't some kind of Mexican or maybe a little African.... You definitely ain't Italian..... I'm getting you a DNA test..."

Check out Strickland's tweet below:

An X user hinted at Daniele’s ethnicity and commented on 'Tarzan's' post, stating:

"she’s probably from southern italy, they’re basically blacks"

Strickland jokingly replied:

"Soooo does she get the N word pass?"

"Listen Dutchman, I’m going to need you to be a f*cking man. I’m gonna need you to stand up, not go to your knees, and we’re gonna need to strike like men. I know you like to wrestle and you like to f*cking choke people out and do some gay sh*t, dude, but I’ll make a pact with you, you make a pact with me that we f*cking stand up like f*cking men and we settle this sh*t like men.”
