"Footwork is not important" UFC Champ Dricus Du Plessis Teaches Nina Marie Daniele the Basics of His Striking "Just throw."

Dricus Du Plessis has gained attention for his unorthodox approach to MMA striking. Unlike traditional fighters who emphasize technical precision and balance, UFC middleweight champion Du Plessis appears to defy many established norms. In a recent video, the UFC 312 headliner taught his striking style to Nina Marie Daniele.

Dricus Du Plessis on his Striking to Nina Marie Daniele

MMA analysts describe his style as “awkward” yet effective, relying on unpredictability, raw power, and relentless aggression rather than textbook techniques. His ability to overwhelm opponents with unconventional blitzes and surprising timing has been a key factor in his rise to the top of the UFC middleweight division.

In a recent lighthearted training session with social media personality Nina Marie Daniele, UFC Middleweight Champion Dricus Du Plessis made a bold and unconventional statement:

“Everything you’ve ever learned about footwork—forget it. Footwork is not important. You start running towards your opponent and throw him—just throw. Whatever he throws? Yeah, take it. And then throw what you want to throw.”

While the comment was delivered in a humorous context, it reflects the polarizing nature of Du Plessis’ striking style. Dricus Du Plessis’ striking often involves charging forward with heavy punches, sometimes sacrificing balance and positioning. His unpredictability makes it difficult for opponents to anticipate his next move.

The South African comes from a striking background being a kickboxing national champion before transitioning to MMA. Now, he is known for mixing his attacks with takedown threats and superb grappling. Many of his techniques are self-taught.

Is adherence to traditional techniques always necessary? For Du Plessis, the answer seems to be no. He will look to defend his UFC middleweight throne against Sean Strickland at UFC 312 this weekend.

Nina, known for her fun approach to interviews, posed the question with a smile: “Can you tell people that I didn’t sleep with you for an interview?”

To which Jon responded in his characteristic straight-talking style: “I’m not going to lie. I’m just not. That’s the one thing I’m not going to do here. I’m not going to lie!”

As Nina Drama laughed and said, “God damn it, Jon!” the interview quickly took a turn toward humor, with both Jon and Nina engaging in the playful banter. While Jon Jones was quick to dismiss the rumor, he also took a moment to speak genuinely about Nina and her partner’s relationship.

“No, but seriously, I really admire you guys’ relationship. I think it’s really cool. Like, the maturity and what it takes to love each other that way. And for him to show confidence like that, some of you boys out there could learn from the love that the two of you have. So, thank you.

Nina Marie Daniele Sparks Controversy with Bikini Post from Brazil Sending MMA Community into a Frenzy

Nina Marie Daniele, widely recognized for her unconventional MMA interviews and content creation, has once again stirred debate within the MMA community. On January 1, 2025, Daniele shared a video of herself posing in a bikini while vacationing in Brazil, accompanied by a playful caption: “My New Year’s resolution is to make MMA Twitter mad with all my bikini content.”

The post quickly went viral, eliciting a storm of reactions. Some fans and creators criticized Daniele, accusing her of attention-seeking behavior. One notable response came from the MMA content creator MMA CHICK, who harshly suggested Daniele “go get married and have kids” instead of “prostituting on social media.” Others expressed frustration over the blending of personal modeling content with MMA journalism, with one fan commenting, “I’m here for MMA news, not thirst traps.”

Amid the backlash, Daniele hinted at a potential shift in her career focus. She tweeted on X, “Y’all think MMA Twitter will miss me if I stop making UFC content or nah? 2025 I’ll be covering other sports + celebrity interviews, so you might see me less.” This statement has sparked speculation about whether her presence in MMA journalism may diminish in the coming year.

Daniele’s post and the reactions stress her polarizing role in the MMA community. Known for blending her background in modeling with her work as an MMA journalist, she has often faced criticism while maintaining a loyal following. Her humorous interviewing style has earned praise from many, including UFC President Dana White, but it has also drawn scrutiny from those who feel her approach undermines the sport’s journalistic standards.

“Go Get Married and Have Kids” – MMA Content Creator Slams Nina-Marie Daniele Over Swimsuit Video

"Go Get Married and Have Kids" - MMA Content Creator Slams Nina-Marie Daniele Over Latest Swimsuit Video

Whether you love her or hate her, Nina-Marie Daniele always knows how to get a reaction.

In recent years, the former model has made a name for herself in the world of mixed martial arts with her unorthodox interviews and an unlikely friendship with outspoken ex-champion Sean Strickland. The former model has also become increasingly popular courtesy of her scantily-clad content on social media which often sees her sporting bikinis and showing off assets.

Obviously, there are plenty of fans online who appreciate Daniele’s non-MMA-related content, but it’s also opened her up to criticism from fighters, fans, and those who feel she is making of mockery of the opportunity she’s been given.

Recently, Daniele stirred the pot once again while showing off a two-piece article of swimwear that left little to the imaginations.

“My new year resolution is to make MMA Twitter mad with all my bikini content,” she wrote on X alongside a video clip of her modeling the new fit.

Nina Drama’s Scantily Clad clip draws the ire of another content creator

That prompted a strong response from X user MMA Chick, a fan of the sport who has generated a strong fan following in recent years.

“My body dunks on hers and I’m not out here prostituting on social media,” she wrote. “Sad Stuff. Go get married and have kids ffs.”

It’s far from the first time Daniele’s content has drawn the ire of MMA Chick.

“Genuinely what is Nina going to do when she’s too old to be posting her boobs for interactions? If that’s what even 60% of her fans enjoy about her she’s screwed in 1-2 years,” she added.

“I used to find her funny and her interviews refreshing but now I can’t stand her after she fully c committed to the sex appeal to borderline minors route.”

“Nina Drama just BLOCKED me on Instagram for calling her ufc post tacky and saying don’t include her forcefully bouncing tits when editing Umar’s face and voice into a reel,” she wrote on December 12. “Is it that hard to be respectful to fighters? What are we doing?”

MMA Chick often uses her platform to share her love of Dagestani fighters like lightweight legend Khabib Nurmagomedov and his protege, reigning 155-pound titleholder Islam Makhachev.

She is also an outspoken conservative who often shares political content and right-wing conspiracy theories.

It’s not the first time Nina-marie Daniele has feuded with someone on social media

Daniele briefly feuded with another MMA content creator last year, The MMA Guru. In October, the Guru made a distasteful comment about the physical appearance of legit combat sports journalist Amy Kaplan ahead of UFC 307.

That prompted Daniele to deliver a fiery post directed at the “clout-chasing vermin” who has carved out a career for himself by spewing hate and delivering head-turning hot takes for cheap clicks.

Of course, The MMA Guru has a respectable following with over 75,000 followers on X and nearly 270k subscribers on YouTube. It’s unlikely that Daniele will bother snapping back at someone with little more than 6,000 followers and very little skin in the game — pun not intended.
