Last year, social media star Nina Drama ventured into UFC content and has since proved to be a massive hit, given her steady growth and numbers on YouTube.

Her first set of interviews happened during International Fight Week 2022 where she spoke to Hall of Famer Khabib Nurmagomedov and his teammate Daniel Cormier. Since then, she has been feeding her audience with a steady diet of MMA content, whether it's parody sketches or interviews with top fighters.

In the latest, Drama whose real name is Nina Marie Daniele, posted a story of herself on her Instagram wearing a red fighter outfit and flexing as if she's about to fight. Here's what the caption of her story read:

"I'm coming for the two vacant belts."

Nina Drama is alluding to the two vacant titles in the bantamweight and featherweight divisions, after Amanda Nunes retired from MMA following her win over Irene Aldana at UFC 289.

Nina Drama has interviewed a whole host of MMA fighters, including light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill, former LHW champion Glover Teixeira, flyweight king Brandon Moreno, former middleweight champion Alex Pereira and two-division champion Jon Jones.
