Nina Marie Daniele Forces UFC Fighter To Sign Contract, No Accountability For Loss Amidst Curse Allegations

Nina Marie Daniele

Nina Marie Daniele has been a major name in MMA media over the past year, bringing her unique style of interviews and content to the sport. Recently, fans dubbed her a “curse” after Alex Pereira’s UFC 313 loss to Magomed Ankalaev, blaming her for jinxing the champ. To counter the criticism, she jokingly made Marvin Vettori sign a contract stating she holds no responsibility if he loses his next fight.

Combat sports fans are no strangers to so-called curses—the infamous “Drake Curse” or the “Zuckerberg Curse.” After Alex Pereira’s loss to Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 313, Nina Marie Daniele’s name has been thrown into the mix.

Some fans have noticed a pattern of fighters losing or getting injured after her interviews, leading to speculation that she might be MMA’s latest bad omen. Whether it’s just coincidence or something more, the “Nina Curse” is officially a talking point in the fight world.

So, to end the talk, she has made Vettori sign a contract suggesting she will not be responsible if he loses against Roman Dolidzez. She said, “So, I’ve created a contract. That says, there’s no ‘Nina Drama curse’. And if you lose, it’s your fault. …It’s not my fault if you lose.”

Though hesitant at first, Marvin Vettori eventually signed the contract, hilariously giving his approval. Whether he actually believes in the Nina Curse or just went along with the joke, fans got a kick out of the moment.

Diana Belbita also joined the conversation, playfully calling Nina Marie Daniele a curse. But Nina quickly clapped back, pointing out that she filmed just as much content with Ankalaev as with Pereira. She brushed off the criticism, telling Belbita to focus on training instead of negativity, especially with her fight against Dione Barbosa coming up.

After Nina Marie Daniele’s response, the UFC fighter quickly clarified her comments on X, insisting it was just a joke. She apologized for any misunderstanding, expressing her respect for Nina’s work and acknowledging the challenges that come with it. Belbita made it clear she had no bad intentions and didn’t mean to upset her. Now, all eyes are on Vettori’s next fight to see if the so-called curse strikes again.
