Tom Aspinall asks female MMA reporter “Have you ever been fingered by a MMA fighter before?”
UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall is on the receiving end of some heat this week after asking female MMA reporter Nina Marie Daniele a rather awkward question during an interview during the lead up to last weekend’s UFC 295 fight card.
“Have you ever been fingered by a MMA fighter before?” asked Aspinall.
The question, stunned Daniele, but shouldn’t surprise anyone at all.
This was the craziest question any UFC fighter has ever asked me LOL.

Daniele, a former model-turned-reporter who has risen to fame with her unorthodox style of MMA reporting, has had a series of these interactions with fighters during interviews she has conducted.
Following the barrage of backlash the newly crowned champion received, Daniele intervened to set the record straight.
“I absolutely love Tom Aspinall’s humor! The reason he asked me that crazy question is because we follow each other on IG and sees all the crazy weird questions my followers ask me. @AspinallMMA is funny AF and he didn’t offend me AT ALL! He was trying to get a reaction out of me and he got a good one lol. I asked him some crazy ass questions too!”
