Nina-Marie Daniele, known as “Nina Drama” in the MMA world, was living through a silent hell. Her phone number was leaked online, and overnight she started receiving messages from a stranger.
These were not simple threats: the stranger sent her cartel beheading videos, one after another, every day. The influencer, who was close to UFC, felt that no one could help her in time.
So she called Dana White. The UFC president did not hesitate for a second: he activated a counterterrorism team that went straight to her house.
By the following morning, they had located the stalker, and White made sure he was placed on the no-fly list so he could never set foot in Las Vegas.
Daniele revealed all of this years later, during a stream with fighter Gable Steveson, making it clear why people at UFC consider him much more than a boss.
