The 32-year-old started off her career as a model and eventually broke into the MMA scene. She may have often been seen interviewing UFC fighters and other martial artists. Over the course of her career, she has interviewed the likes of Jay Cutler and Mike Tyson. In fact, Cutler was one of her first few guests when she started writing for her own sports show on the internet.

She also covers a lot of UFC interviews with pro fighters. In fact, she is engaged to yet another famous interviewer who does the rounds around the UFC. That’s right, Dave Schmulenson, better known as ‘The Schmo’, is the one Yee is engaged to. The two spent a long friendship together before finally becoming a sweet couple.

‘The Schmo’ has his own unique character and style of interviewing celebrities in the MMA world. The two make a splendid pair for a reason. However, apart from all the MMA, Yee is also a two-time state champion swimmer. How much can you do at once, you may ask?

She has spent well over a decade swimming and also looks forward to continuing her career in it. In fact, it was one of her recent posts about getting back into swimming that brought her back to the headlines in a strange way. Fans may have seen her beef with Nina Marie Daniele over the past few days. Here’s all there is to it.

So what really happened between Yee and Daniele? Was it just a competition between two reporters doing their jobs? While it may seem so on the surface, the reasons were rather shallow, and perhaps comments from strangers acted as firestarters.

Yee was being compared to Daniele. That started it off and eventually led to Yee tweeting out ?Respectfully, you just read this 4min ago when I messaged you in July and I texted you which you still never texted me back..I had a swim meet in Oregon. When you approached me in person, you blindsided me in public where there were other people around being nosey which I explained to you and you seemed understanding at the time. I texted you and responded to your dm but you never heard from you so I figured you didn?t want to meet up?I tried! Well best of luck to you! Keep killing it too!??

Daniele would soon respond with her stance that the beef was all a?“rumor” and the two would seemingly calm things down, but is it really cool between the two reporters? We may never know. Do you think the minor beef was serious or just a massive misunderstanding? Let us know in the comments.
