Nina Drama finally addressed one of the more memorable moments from her media career during a live appearance on the Impaulsive podcast.
When hosts Logan Paul and Mike Majlak brought up the viral clip, they asked her to explain exactly what happened during her interaction with UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall. Nina did not hold back as she walked through the exchange from the beginning.
“Tom and I are friends. Tom’s always been super cool,” she said, explaining that the encounter started innocently enough.
According to Nina, Aspinall approached her and said he had a question.
“And I was like, ‘Oh, that’s cool,'” she recalled. “Cuz like no one ever asked me any questions. So, I got all ready. I had my notebook. I was like, ‘Yeah, like what’s the question?'”
What followed was not at all what she expected.
“And then he goes, he like stops. He goes, ‘Have you ever been fingered by an MMA athlete?'” Nina recounted. “And I’m like, ‘B**ch, what? Who asks that?'”
The question caught her so off guard that she initially wondered whether she had misheard him.
“I was thinking about it cuz I was like there’s no way he asked me that question,” she said.
Wanting to make sure she understood correctly, Nina asked Aspinall to clarify.
“And so I was like, ‘Are we talking about the same thing?’ cuz I wanted to make sure it was the same thing,” she explained. “And he was like, ‘Yeah.’ And I was like, ‘No.’ And he’s like, ‘Oh, okay. I was just wondering.'”
According to Nina, the conversation did not end there.
“He goes, ‘What would it take?'” she recalled. “And I’m like, ‘Why are you doubling down on it? I don’t understand.'”
Nina then offered some context for why Aspinall may have asked the question in the first place. She explained that she occasionally posts question-and-answer prompts on social media, inviting followers to ask her anything while jokingly warning them not to be inappropriate.
“But I’m like joking cuz I know it’s all going to be perverted stuff,” she said.
Nina suggested that Aspinall may have been trying to imitate the kind of questions she receives online, though the timing and setting made the exchange come across very differently in person.
The discussion took a humorous turn when Logan Paul referenced an eye poke Aspinall suffered in a match.
“It’s crazy that that happened and then he got fingered in the eye,” Paul joked. “Who’s out there competing with his hands open? Someone’s got to stop the guy.”
Nina also revealed that Aspinall was not particularly interested in revisiting the incident during a later interview.
“I tried to bring it up in our second interview but they said like no,” she said.
