UFC prospect Sharaputdin Magomedov left MMA reporter Nina-Marie Daniele jokingly screaming for help during a recent training session.
The former model has become a staple of the MMA community due to her light-hearted interviews with the likes of UFC light-heavyweight champion Alex Pereira.

Daniele – who is known as Nina Drama – went viral on social media last November when interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall turned the tables to ask her an X-rated question.
But now, the American influencer has been seen having fun with one of the UFC’s most feared fighters Magomedov.
Unbeaten Magomedov takes on Armen Petrosyan this Saturday on the main card of UFC 308, which is headlined by Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway.
In a video doing the rounds on social media, ‘Bullet’ can be seen delivering a calf kick in the direction of Daniele, before following up with an attempted spinning kick.
A smiling – and more than scared – Daniele pleads with him to slow down, before saying: “This is slightly terrifying.”
She then scurries away from the UFC middleweight, before calling for the translator as Magomedov closes the distance.
With Daniele then positioned behind a punching bag, she adds: “So, what do you call this? Is this just an attack?”
Magomedov then proceeds to deliver a brutal four-punch and kick combo, before landing several more kicks that explain perfectly why the middleweight has the nickname he does.
The Dagestan native signed with the UFC in December 2022 as an unbeaten professional MMA fighter with 11 wins and all but one of them victories coming by knockout.
The Russian made his debut for Dana White’s promotion ten months later and has won all three of his bouts in the middleweight division since.

Magomedov has knocked out the majority of his MMA opponentsGetty
He was awarded Fight of the Night in his last Octagon appearance in a bloody affair with Michal Oleksiejczuk that he won after three rounds.
‘Bullet’ was also awarded with the Performance of the Night award for his vicious KO of Brazilian Antonio Trocoli at UFC Abu Dhabi in August.
One striking aspect of Magomedov’s appearance is his fake right eye.
When the 30-year-old was younger he suffered an eye injury that led to him needing eight surgeries on his right eye.
Just like Britain’s Michael Bisping, Magomedov was worried he would not be able to fight again, but doctors eventually cleared him to fight once again after almost two years out of action.
Many UFC fans believe the Russian has the potential to be the next big thing in the world of MMA due to his lethal striking power and versatility.
He battles Armenia’s Petrosyan on a stacked UFC 308 card that also features Robert Whittaker and Khamzat Chimaev as the co-main event.
