Fans React to Nina-Marie Daniele’s UFC Octagon Girl Tease: “Good Luck, Just No Power Slap!”
Fans are forever searching for new blood and hot trends in MMA. One such figure has been catching the attention of MMA fans over the last year: Nina Marie Danielle. This model-turned-content creator has since become a familiar figure in the UFC for her style of interviewing fighters and producing videos. Now fans are speculating that she may very well become a UFC Octagon girl.
But what path has it taken for the intriguing Nina-Marie Daniele to step into MMA lights? She has a near-12-year modelling career and just secured the title of Playboy’s 2018 Playmate of Year. Creating MMA content and transitioning into modelling, Daniele has gradually found a niche for herself; she is popular on social media with lots of fans.
The retirement of long-time UFC ring girls Arianny Celeste and Brittney Palmer after the recent UFC 296 has created a hole in the octagon. In the process of bidding farewell to these legendary beauties, people began thinking about who would take their places. Then came the playful tweet from model and X/Twitter user Nina-Marie Daniele about auditioning to be a UFC Octagon girl. It sparked an MMA uproar on the Twitter network.
She wrote in tongue-in-cheek fashion, “I want to be an octagon girl. Wish me luck!! Daniele’s tweet quickly became the topic, distributing hopefuls for UFC Octagon. Girls were eagerly awaiting news on who would replace them.
Even more interesting is Daniele’s large audience on social media. She has a devoted following and can grab attention for anything she says. Fans immediately weighed in with opinions on whether or not she could be a success as an octagon girl, also taking into account her status as a playmate and the fact that people are beginning to talk about Whang.
Another common view among fans is that Daniele may replace Brittney Palmer on the court, which just happens to be her idol’s specialty. Such remarks seemed to foreshadow what was coming, and the fans said such things as filling Brittney Palmer’s position. You have got luck, Kidding! I guess we all must wait for official word or more hints like these if Danielle does indeed take up a post in the UFC.
Furthermore, some fans added a leavening of humour to their response. In particular, it was a user’s banner comment that linked Daniele’s willingness to audition with there not being any UFC events for one month at all. Fans have obviously been having a bit of fun by ascribing the one-month break in UFC events to Daniele’s quest for opportunity within his own company.
Yet there’s also a note of caution from some fans who remember the incomparable fashion sense of retired Octagon girls. A comment ostensibly wishing Daniele good luck and concluding with “No Power Slap!” points out the affectionate fan bases that Arianny Celeste and Brittney Palmer enjoyed, as well as their personal characteristics. These ring girls had a huge influence on the fans ‘experience, and any successor will find it hard to live up.
The reactions on social media show the intense and engaged nature of MMA fans. While speculation about her being a UFC Octagon Girl goes on, fans are discussing their views and thoughts, with humour included.
It will be interesting to see how the UFC world reacts to this story about actress Nina-Marie Daniele. Regardless of whether she becomes a new octagon woman, the audience’s hum and excitement made evident the sport’s diversity. Aside from fighters themselves, personalities like ring girls are the key to attracting attention. Meanwhile, fans will still speculate and watch the Internet for any possible indication of this possibility.
