Also nominated in this category are Bruce Buffer, Daniel Cormier, Chael Sonnen, and Joe Rogan.

Daniele has become one of the more known content creators within the space of MMA in recent times. Daniele has been seen interviewing several big-name UFC fighters like Sean Strickland, and Jon Jones, as well as tons more, and has collaborated on videos with White himself.

Within the Instagram caption, Daniele spoke about how two years ago she left a career as a comedy content and skits creator to also journey from California to Las Vegas to pursue her UFC endeavors. She stated how this job did not exist initially and that the first nine months of the pursuit did not result in making money.

"Congrats!!!! So brilliant and such a hard worker"

Dana White reveals a pair of matchups for UFC Paris

Dana White also took to social media, albeit on a different platform, to reveal some more official UFC business.

On X, the promotional figurehead announced not just the main event but also the co-main event clash for the looming UFC Paris card. The Sept. 28 headliner will pit a pair of top 15 lightweight contenders against one another.

The 55-year-old put together a video address stating that the number 10 ranked contender Renato Moicano would clash with partisan favorite Benoit Saint Denis who is the number 12 ranked contender in that weight category.

The Connecticut native announced the co-headliner for the company's upcoming offering in France and it's another consequential clash of contenders but just in a different weight division. The penultimate fight of UFC Paris will see number four-ranked middleweight Nassourdine Imavov collide with the number seven-ranked 185-pound combatant in the organization, Brendan Allen.

This is the third time overall that the company has gone to Paris. White seems excited about this France card in the coming weeks, hoping things pan out better than the company's last European show, UFC 304.
