Veronica Hardy Chokes Out Nina Drama and Talks Kissing Pigeons Ahead of UFC 309

UFC flyweight fighter Veronica Hardy spent some time bonding with Nina-Marie Daniele.

Daniele, also known by her social media persona Nina Drama, has spent a lot of time training with some of the UFC’s top stars both in the cage and on the mat. Recently, she hit the mats with Hardy, a 9-4 fighter who is currently sitting on a three-fight win streak with notable wins over Juliana Miller, Jamey-Lyn Horth, and JJ Aldrich.

During their interaction, Hardy put Drama in multiple uncomfortable positions, choking her out with triangle choke.

“Yeah, you definitely feel that,” Drama asked after feeling Hardy’s squeeze. “I mean, how would you — let’s say you go for it and you had me locked in and I’m here. How do you even get out of something like that?”

Hardy then offered Drama some insight into how you can potential defend the maneuver.

“Right, so what you’re trying to do when somebody grabs you is just trying to compress you in. That’s why you put the arm across and you fold their head. So you’re compressing everything. Legs, arm, everything is being compressed like a snake.”

Veronica Hardy and Nina Drama bond over mike tyson’s love for pigeon kisses

After rolling around on the mats for a bit, Drama and Hardy bonded over their love for, of all things, pigeons.

“Veronica: “They’re very smart. They deliver messages,” Hardy said.

“Exactly,” Drama replied in agreement. And Mike Tyson endorses them.

“Yes, and he likes to make them kiss,” Hardy interestingly added. “Kiss now! Kiss! Kiss!

“That’s what I think at weigh-ins when people get really intense and really close to each other,” Drama quipped.

“Now kiss kiss! Like a pigeon kiss,” Hardy concluded.

For context, here’s a picture of Mike Tyson literally kissing a pigeon:

So that’s a thing that happened.

Anyway, Veronica Hardy will be back in action on Saturday night when the UFC heads back to Madison Square Garden for its annual pit stop on Saturday, November 16. There, the Venezuelan vixen (not that one) will look to land her fourth-straight win when she meets Brazil’s Eduarda Moura.

UFC interviews Nina Marie Daniele, AKA Nina Drama, has taken aim at the MMA YouTube influencer The MMA Guru due to his comments aimed at MMA journalist Amy Kaplan.

MMA Guru

The MMA Guru is a YouTube influencer focusing on MMA and various dramas. He provides predictions and betting insights online. He is well known for his outlandish reactions and trolling.

On X, formerly Twitter, The MMA Guru body-shamed MMA journalist Amy Kaplan when she attended a UFC press conference ahead of UFC 307. He said:

He wrote:

“Honestly so disrespectful of the UFC camera man at the UFC 307 press conference to be like “nah you guys gotta see this” in the middle of her question.

MMA Journalist Kaplan responded:

“And this is why I prefer to remain behind the camera and in 10+ years of covering the UFC don’t speak at the press conferences. Don’t forget that everyone deserves respect, even people you don’t find attractive.”

Nina Marie Daniele Attacks MMA Guru

UFC personality Nina Marie Daniele chose not to stand for this bullying and responded, speaking to MMA Guru:

“I’ve been keeping my mouth shut about this clout chasing vermin since I started in the UFC and he hasn’t been able to keep my name out his mouth, crying about me like a little bitch on the internet. But for Amy, I had to speak up. I may not be every body’s cup of tea, I might be cringe and annoying and I don’t shy away from using my assets for views, they’re a great set and I will use every tool at my disposal without actually desecrating myself for success in my career but that doesn’t make me an indecent human which is what you like to allude to as of late.

“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 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 roll 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 your worth.

“Trust me, everyone at the UFC knows who you are because of all the rumors and lies you’ve spread for clicks and views.

“You owe @PhotoAmy33 an apology and while you’re at it apologize to yourself for turning out less than human, an excrement stain on society and now the reason another person is going to sleep feeling devalued and violated. I would love for you guys to check out Amy’s work. She’s a fantastic journalist and a valuable contribution to mma.”

“She punched me in the face. She punched me here, she punched me in my piercings. She choked me, and she sat on me.”

Nine was also quite frightened of Kayla, she explained:

“One time, you said to me, “All them boys go easy on you. When I get my hands on you, I’m not going that easy.” That lives rent-free in my head.

Nina-Marie Daniele Snaps Back at Conservative Fan Who Criticized Her 'Classless' Attire

MMA interviewer Nina-Marie Daniele snapped back at a conservative fan who admonished her for wearing a scantily clad outfit while exercising.

Over the last couple of years, the former model and Playboy Playmate has become a fan favorite in the combat sports community courtesy of quirky interviews that often consist of her asking unconventional questions to catch her interviewees off-guard.

Nina-Marie Daniele

However, not everyone is a fan. Especially when the YouTube and TikTok star flaunts her wares.

Recently, Daniele posted a video on social media of her working out while asking fans to take a stab at what she was filming in the comments.

While most of the guesses were humorous, one individual decided to spew some vitriol at the Italian-American over her “classless” attire.

Nina-Marie Daniele

“Absolutely classless behavior from this UFC content creator,” X user @RightWingJerry replied. “This is what happens when women grow up without a strong father figure in their life. No boyfriend who is a real man would put up with their woman doing this. This is who we want our youth watching on their phones?”

Nina-Marie Daniele Tells Ignore Fan to ‘Cry About It’

In response, Daniele dismissed the ignorant commenter’s criticism with a six-word follow-up.

Nina-Marie Daniele

“Cry about it you puss LOL,” Daniel fired back.

Perhaps @RightWingJerry should just stick to scrolling through Jake Shield’s social media feed. Seems like those two have a lot in common.

Unfortunately, the Arizona-based conservative was far from done ranting and raving to his 145 followers about a woman far more successful than he’ll likely ever be.

Nina-Marie Daniele

Known as Nina Drama on social media, Daniele has developed a strong fan following with 2.4 million followers on Instagram, a whopping four million followers on TikTok, 1.13 million subscribers on YouTube, and over 200,000 followers on X.

Daniele currently has a contract with the UFC and was recently nominated for Personality of the Year at this year’s World MMA Awards.

Nina Marie Daniele Makes Valentina Shevchenko Laugh with Superman Punch Attempts: "Now do it seriously."

Days away from her return to the Octagon, Valentina Shevchenko is attempting to teach UFC interviewer Nina-Marie Daniele how to throw a Superman punch. Needless to say, the results were nothing short of hilarious.

On September 14, ‘Bullet’ back is in action as she looks to complete her trilogy with reigning flyweight women’s champion Alexa Grasso in the UFC 306 co-main event.

Nina Marie Daniele Makes Valentina Shevchenko Laugh with Superman Punch Attempts: "Now do it seriously."

Grasso stunned Shevchenko in March 2023, securing a fourth-round submission victory to claim the 125-pound title.

Six months later, they would run it back only to go to a five-round split draw after judge Mike Bell controversially scored the fifth round 10-8 in favor of Grasso. Shevchenko strongly believes she should have left with the belt that night and she has no intention of leaving it in the hands of the judges when they go toe-to-toe for a third straight time this Saturday night.

Recently, Shevchenko took some time out of her intense training scheduled to show Daniele, also known as Nina Drama on social media, a thing or two inside the Octagon, including her signature Superman punch.

Laura Sanko and Luana santos love the Shevchenko-Daniele Team-up

UFC commentator Laura Sanko was very much amused by the video. Particularly when ‘Bullet’ insisted that Daniele stop screwing around and do the Superman punch “seriously.”

“Love it,” Sanko wrote in the comments on Instagram. “‘okay but now do it seriously.’”

Daniele replied to Sanko’s comment writing: “My heart stopped when she said that.”

Flyweight standout Luana Santos also commented on the clip with the tears of joy emoji.

“Miss you!!” Daniele wrote in response to Santos. “We have to film another video.”
