Nina-Marie Daniele expressed her strong disapproval of Georgio Poullas’s remarks about her, which were made to Arman Tsarukyan and the media during the RAF 07 pre-fight press conference.
The rivalry between Tsarukyan and Poullas has been intense, especially after their previous freestyle wrestling match culminated in a full-blown brawl when the UFC fighter punched Poullas in the face after securing a victory. As they gear up for a highly anticipated rematch this weekend as the main event of RAF 07, tensions are undeniably running high.
During the press conference, Tsarukyan inquired about the $10,000 payout Poullas had promised if the Armenian managed to take him down – a feat Tsarukyan had already accomplished at RAF 06. Poullas responded with a provocative comment:
“Well, you give me a date with your girlfriend Nina, and I’ll give you 10k.”
Following Poullas’s comment, Tsarukyan made it unequivocally clear to both the media and his opponent that he would not tolerate derogatory remarks about his friends, family, or anyone close to him, asserting that anyone who crossed that boundary would be “dead.”
Nina-Marie Daniele also confronted Poullas directly, stating her displeasure with how he involved her name in promoting the rematch. She firmly declared:
“That was sh*ty promo. That was disrespectful… I didn’t like that sh*t.”
Georgio Poullas immediately offered an apology for his remarks:
“Sorry, I apologize.”
Nina-Marie Daniele Goes Scorched Earth on “Terrible Content Creator” Steiny
A few hours after the incident, content creator Steiny posted his thoughts on social media, seemingly taking Georgio Poullas’s side. Steiny wrote:
“I got mad love for Nina Drama, but getting pissed at a guy who asks you on a date at a press conference when your content is going on a date pretty much with every fighter in the UFC was lame af, made the guy look bad for no reason.”
Nina-Marie Daniele swiftly fired back, revealing that Steiny had been relentlessly trying for years to get her to appear on his podcast, even employing multiple intermediaries to convince her:
“Steiny, for years, you have been asking me to come on your pod. I’ve said no to you… So you asked Jon to ask me… I said Nah… you asked Arman’s team… I said nah. You are a terrible content creator. You don’t research your guests… You ride the coattails of Kyle, Bradley, Stevewilldoit, Bob Menery (actual talented content creators). Without attractive girls on your pod, nobody would watch.”
She then launched a full-scale assault on “entitled kid” Steiny, adding:
“You are an entitled kid with no interviewing skills and you’re bitter I said “no” to you so many times. Work on your craft and do better. Lastly there’s a difference between being in on the bit and being used for the bit – I’m not going to let someone use me for a bit for their own promo. But you wouldn’t know the difference because all you do is use people and expect them to be ok with it. Get fu*ked and stay out my DMs”
