Nina-Marie Daniele publicly expressed her strong displeasure with Georgio Poullas’s remarks about her during the RAF 07 pre-bout press conference, an event preceding his highly anticipated rematch with Arman Tsarukyan.
The tension between Tsarukyan and Poullas stems from a previous freestyle wrestling match, which concluded in a brawl after the UFC fighter punched Poullas upon winning. With their rematch headlining RAF 07 this weekend, animosity was already high.
During the press conference, Tsarukyan inquired about a $10,000 payment Poullas had promised if he was taken down – a feat Tsarukyan accomplished at RAF 06. Poullas’s provocative response was:
“Well, you give me a date with your girlfriend Nina, and I’ll give you 10k.”
Tsarukyan reacted fiercely, making it unequivocally clear to both the media and Poullas that he would not tolerate derogatory comments about his friends, family, or anyone close to him, asserting that anyone who crossed that boundary would face severe consequences.
Daniele herself confronted Poullas, criticizing his comments as “sh***y promo” and “disrespectful,” emphasizing her strong disapproval of how he involved her name to promote the rematch.
Georgio Poullas promptly offered an apology for his remarks.
Nina-Marie Daniele goes scorched earth on “terrible content creator” Steiny
Hours after the incident, content creator Steiny posted on X (formerly Twitter), appearing to take 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 immediately retaliated with a scathing response, revealing that Steiny had repeatedly attempted to invite her onto his podcast for years, even seeking intermediaries, all of which she declined.
“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 escalated her attack on Steiny, labeling him an “entitled kid” and stating:
“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 f***ed and stay out my DMs”
