Nina-Marie Daniele's message for Sean Strickland after UFC 312

Sean Strickland locked horns with the UFC middleweight king Dricus du Plessis in a rematch at UFC 312. The American lost the championship bout by unanimous decision and also broke his nose.

'Tarzan's' defense-first fight style was criticized by many, including his coach, who called his performance underwhelming. However, after the pay-per-view, Nina-Marie Daniele stated she was impressed by Strickland’s performance despite him not being on the winning end.

She tweeted:

"Two modern day gladiators! These are the moments that make us love MMA... And to my brother @SStricklandMMA so proud of you! I know it’s not the outcome you wanted but it’s ok, win, lose or draw, moving forward is all that matters!"
