“I think the MMA community is one of the most brutal and hardest communities to be part of. You just have to be prepared and wrap your head around it.” – Nina Drama

Known for her viral interviews and comedic takes on MMA, Drama’s work has captivated audiences worldwide, amassing an impressive 11 million combined followers across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

Born Nina-Marie Daniele in Pelham, New York, Drama has taken the world of mixed martial arts by storm and carved a unique path in the MMA world with her unorthodox interviews that unveil the lighter, more human side of even the toughest fighters.

Reflecting on her path to success, Drama shared on UNLEASHED: “Growing up, I was super quiet and introverted. As I got older, I had to learn to be like everyone else. And I was super focused on not being the weird one of the group every time. But then I came to embrace the weirdness of being an only child and doing things a little bit differently. I don’t know how to be anyone else but myself. And now I’m here!”

Catch the full conversation with Nina Drama, whose humor and authenticity have broken barriers in a male-dominated sport and have UFC stars dropping their guard on Episode 413 of UNLEASHED with The Dingo, Danny, and Brittney Fueled by Monster Energy. The new podcast is streaming now on all major platforms, including Spotify, iTunes, and YouTube.

Drama’s ability to connect with UFC stars like Jon Jones, Sean Strickland, and Alex Pereira has made her a fan favorite across multiple platforms. And audiences can’t get enough: Boasting a social media following amounting to millions of hungry viewers, Drama keeps the hits coming with original content live from behind the scenes at milestone UFC events. The secret to her lighting fast rise to fame? Listen closely as the talented interviewer becomes the interviewee – only on UNLEASHED!

Hear the full story in conversation with podcast hosts, Australian action sports personality Luke “The Dingo” Trembath and artist and model Brittney Palmer. Follow the link to tune in here.

Before becoming an MMA sensation, Drama enjoyed a successful modeling career but found it unfulfilling.

“One thing I always wanted to do is interview fighters, but I didn’t know how. I had modeled for 12 years, but it was not fulfilling. It just felt really vapid after a while, and there wasn’t anything satiating about it anymore,” said Drama, adding: “I was done with the industry and did not want to be a part of it anymore.”

During the pandemic, she pivoted, creating comedy skits that resonated with audiences and set the stage for her breakout in MMA reporting.

“I love MMA. I grew up doing karate, and my mom was a martial artist. I went to a boxing gym. This is what I wanted to do, but how do you change from modeling to comedy content to MMA content?”

The transition into MMA was far from easy. Asked how she initially gained acceptance (as a woman) in the hard-boiled world of fight sports, Drama offered: “My audience was like, what the hell are you doing? But they stayed! And once I got into the MMA community, it was an interesting crossover. I was like, how do I take MMA and turn it into comedy so that everybody can absorb it, not just the niche MMA demographic?”

Despite challenges breaking into the MMA community, Drama persisted, turning skeptics into loyal fans with her humorous and relatable content. Her offbeat sparring sessions with fighters and behind-the-scenes exclusives have become instant classics, raking in millions of views and solidifying her status as a social media powerhouse. Today, she commands 4.2 million followers on TikTok, 2.7 million followers on Instagram, and 1.3 million YouTube subscribers.

Drama was recently honored as MMA Personality of the Year for her innovative approach to MMA reporting. This accolade cements her status as a prominent figure in the fight sports community and highlights the significant influence of her humorous yet profoundly insightful interviews with both UFC champions and emerging talents.

Has the fame made her job behind the microphone easier? “Every day is a struggle. Good and bad, I love it all. I think the MMA community is one of the most brutal and hardest communities to be part of. You just have to be prepared and wrap your head around it,” said Drama on UNLEASHED.

The two parties are exploring business opportunities in stablecoin payments and corporate treasury management.

Jointly identifying new use cases and business opportunities in stablecoin-based global payments and fund transfersReviewing the potential of digital asset-based financial infrastructure for global corporate finance and treasury managementLinking MoonPay’s global network with Dunamu’s GIWA blockchain to support global ecosystem expansion

NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MoonPay, a global crypto payments and stablecoin infrastructure company, is pursuing a strategic collaboration with Dunamu in the field of global financial infrastructure built on digital assets.

The two companies will jointly identify new business opportunities across areas including stablecoin-based global payments and fund movement, and corporate finance and treasury management. By combining MoonPay’s global financial services and network with Dunamu’s technology and business capabilities, including its GIWA blockchain, they plan to explore the potential applications of digital asset-based financial infrastructure.

First, the companies will look for collaboration opportunities in global payments and fund movement using stablecoins. Drawing on both companies’ technology and infrastructure, they will review a range of cases in which digital assets can be used for cross-border payments and fund transfers, and examine the business potential of new financial service models.

The companies will also pursue collaboration in global corporate finance and treasury management. They will jointly review ways to apply digital asset-based financial infrastructure to corporate finance and treasury operations, and identify related business opportunities and usage models.

Expanding Dunamu’s GIWA blockchain ecosystem is another key area of collaboration. Leveraging their respective global ecosystems and partner networks, the two companies will explore ways to broaden access to GIWA-based services and digital assets and strengthen the GIWA ecosystem’s global connectivity. In particular, by linking MoonPay’s global services and network with Dunamu’s blockchain infrastructure, they aim to increase overseas market access for services and assets within the GIWA ecosystem and jointly identify new business opportunities in global markets.

“For stablecoins to function as global financial infrastructure, it is important to have the technology and network to support not only cross-border payments and fund transfers, but also the real financial operations of businesses,” said Bugeon Lee, Head of APAC at MoonPay. “By combining Dunamu’s blockchain capabilities with MoonPay’s global financial infrastructure, we will explore new possibilities for digital assets and work together so that the GIWA ecosystem can expand into global markets.”

Going forward, MoonPay and Dunamu plan to firm up the technical and commercial potential in their main areas of collaboration, namely stablecoin-based global payments, corporate finance and treasury management, and GIWA ecosystem expansion, and to continue identifying new business opportunities that draw on both companies’ strengths.
