Nina-Marie Daniele strikes back at 'The MMA Guru' for derogatory remarks against female journalist
Nina-Marie Daniele didn’t hold back in her scathing critique of ‘The MMA Guru,’ who made seemingly derogatory remarks about journalist Amy Kaplan. The incident unfolded during the UFC 307 press conference, sparking outrage as Kaplan explained her preference for staying behind the scenes, attributing it to such offensive remarks.
Daniele took to social media platform X to condemn The MMA Guru’s comments. She expressed frustration with his repeated attacks on her character, labeling him a “clout-chasing vermin.” She wrote:
"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 of 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. There’s a reason why you had to take on the role of the heel on the back side of the MMA media industry and it’s because you’re a rude, vile, ignorant, dusty, pathetic troll that causes more problems than you're worth."
