Is Nina Drama an industry plug? Is the Nina Drama Sean Strickland duo a set-up by Dana White?
Laura Sanko sits down with Nina Marie to get to the bottom of where she came from. She was not always UFC Nina, she came from a background in modelling with Playboy, but how did she get here?
Nina Marie has become a very prominent name in UFC media, featuring the biggest names in her social media videos, such as Dan White, Jamal Hill, Alex Pereria, Shavkat Rakhmonov, Sean Strickland, Leon Edwards (are you Arab?), and Tom Aspinall with the famous finger question.
Laura Sanko talks to Nina about her professional history, and how she rose to the top so fast.

'Introvert' has become a buzzword people use when they wanna say they're deep and unique, obviously there are extroverts that are shy and there are introverts that can give speeches and are charismatic but jesus christ dude

You would be surprised how many "conventionally attractive" people are very introverted specifically because nobody treats them like a normal person

@Alvin-xs7db 24 күн бұрын

Women have their own version of "introverted" when it suits them, so they won't feel judged. But obviously some really are introverted though. In Nina's case, she made it very clear she cares what ppl think of her so I'm not buying it

@jimmyramos1989 9 күн бұрын

Introverted doesn’t mean shy. It means she gets her emotional energy internally and/or by herself. Extroverted people get energy for their emotional battery from others and social situations.

This was so lovely! I had a friend who modelled for a while but then quit because she was so bored all the time! She just thought it was a boring job! I think maybe Nina likes this more because she has more agency and can be more herself and that's all we want out of a job, really.
