Sharabutdin Magomedov gives hilarious five-word reaction to fixing Nina-Marie Daniele's hair and launching a kick at her in training video
Sharabutdin Magomedov's recent training session with Nina-Marie Daniele has drawn a tremendous amount of attention. During his UFC 308 media day interview, 'Shara Bullet' was asked about a specific interaction with the social media influencer during their sparring session.
The moment in question saw Magomedov brushing bangs of Daniele's hair away from her brow, which could have interfered with her vision. Nevertheless, the interaction, which caused a stunned Daniele to freeze and eye the camera before breaking out in laughter, led to a question in Magomedov's media day interview.
When asked about the training session and aforementioned moment in particular, Magomedov offered a tongue-in-cheek response.
"It was just a tactic."
Check out Sharabutdin Magomedov's answer to the question (17:25):
His claim is likely due to the fact that moments after fixing Daniele's hair, Magomedov threw a spinning heel kick. His claim, however, is unlikely, as he had instructed Daniele to raise her guard prior to the kick itself. More than anything, it was possibly just Magomedov being playful.
It marked a recent wave in promotional material involving Magomedov ahead of his UFC 308 fight with unranked middleweight Armen Petrosyan.

Magomedov will hope to make good on the recent social buzz he's enjoyed by scoring a definitive finish come fight night. Unfortunately, stoppages haven't come easily for 'Shara Bullet' in the UFC. Before signing with the promotion, he had knocked out/TKO'd 10 out of his 11 pre-UFC foes.
However, in the UFC, he has only finished one of three opponents, likely due to the higher level of competition.
Sharabutdin Magomedov isn't the only UFC fighter Nina-Marie Daniele has trained with
While Sharabutdin Magomedov is the latest UFC fighter with whom Nina-Marie Daniele has trained, he isn't the first. She previously trained with reigning UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira prior to his successful UFC 307 title defense against Khalil Rountree Jr.

Daniele was even given a taste of Pereira's signature calf kick, buckling from the blow. Whether she intends to pursue any serious training remains to be seen, however, Daniele will continue engaging fighters in lighthearted sparring sessions for content.
