UFC fighter Sean Strickland admits he has no shame.

In a video shared by MMA YouTuber and comedian Nina-Marie Daniele with the UFC’s No. 7 ranked middleweight, Strickland said the only reason he was doing an interview with her was “because she has 1.3 million followers on Instagram and her t**ties hang out.”

“They’re not hanging out; they’re propped. They’re propped up,” Daniele said.

That wasn’t the weirdest part for Strickland, however.

“You know what makes this more awkward for you guys?” he said. “She intentionally makes her t**ties hang out for me, and her boyfriend is holding a camera while I’m trying not to look at her f**kin t**ties.”

Daniele has been doing plenty of content on her Instagram account, including attempting to help push Dana White’s highly controversial Power Slap league.

Her YouTube channel shows 181,000 subscribers, as well.

The conversation between them seemed to go all over the place.

The yet-to-be-released full interview contains some lighthearted interactions — like when Strickland asked, “Why would I need to make small talk with a women,” unless the end goal was to get laid.

“She’s pretty knowledgeable, and I like her personality,” Strickland also explained of his reasoning for doing interview with Daniele as he prepares for the main event of this weekend’s UFC Fight Night against Abus Magomedov in Las Vegas.

Joking about her appearance that she’s “about a six, no makeup, six and a half. But her personality is a solid nine, so I like doing interviews with you.”

Daniele chuckled as she said, “Thank you. that’s really sweet of you, thank you.”

While it was Strickland making the comments, some fans turned on Daniele.

One wrote: “You’re not embarrassed? You let men disrespect you at work and then post it for all to see? How much they pay you, cause it must be alot huh? You have parents? They saw this? Wow. I’m flabbergasted.”

Another added: “Lmao have some self respect shorty, u just gunna sit her and let buddy flame you just for an interview?? Infront of ya man???? Sh*t crazy.”

Another said: “This is f**king gross. What’s really s**tty is the next woman that interviews him is gonna have to deal with it too since you b***hes just giggle when someone insults you.”

Strickland, 32, is 26-5 in his MMA career and has split his last two fights.
