Nina-Marie Daniele reacts to Dana White's UFC 303 Dublin press conference announcement - "Packing my bags"
Nina-Marie Daniele is more than exciting for the UFC 303 pre-fight press conference, which the promotion's CEO, Dana White, announced for June 3 at the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland. The news is noticeable due to the headline act for the pay-per-view, as it features the return of Irish superstar, Conor McGregor.
McGregor, a native Dubliner who brought Ireland to the forefront of MMA, will take on former three-time Bellator lightweight champion and one-time UFC lightweight title challenger Michael Chandler in a welterweight main event. The press conference is expected to generate tremendous hype for the bout.
Check out Dana White's UFC 303 announcement:
As one of the sport's greatest-ever trash-talkers, McGregor often turns his press conferences into promotional spectacles. While Chandler is not known for his trash talk, he is known for having the gift of gab, being one of the most promo-adept fighters on the UFC roster.
Thus, it should come as no surprise that Daniele is thrilled over the prospect of seeing the two go back and forth at a press conference to be held in McGregor's hometown, no less.
"Packing my bags... who's going?"
The last time a press conference was held in Dublin with McGregor at the helm was during the Irishman's featherweight days, years ago.
He was part of a world tour to draw interest for then featherweight title fight with the legendary José Aldo. Whether he can replicate the magic of his vintage press conference remains to be seen, but Daniele has ensured that she will not miss it.
Nina-Marie Daniele has gone to UFC events for other fighters in the past
While Nina-Marie Daniele's excitement for the UFC 303 pre-fight press conference is notable, it won't be her first time at a UFC event. She was cage-side for her good friend, Sean Strickland, at UFC 293, where she saw him capture the 185-pound title from Israel Adesanya in one of the sport's greatest-ever upsets.
Similarly, she was also present for the pre-fight press conference, having traveled to Australia to support Strickland.

Having quickly become a staple of the UFC media world, she will no doubt seek to secure an interview with either Conor McGregor or Michael Chandler ahead of UFC 303.
