LA Dodgers pitcher Bobby Miller's girlfriend, Natalie Loureda, is an avid martial artist, having represented the U.S. on the international stage in Taekwondo. Natalie is an aspiring professional wrestler with deep knowledge of MMA, often providing analysis and predictions.
The 24-year-old martial artist recently defended Khabib Nurmagomedov, the UFC Hall of Famer, who faced an unfortunate situation while traveling on a Frontier Airlines airplane.
Nurmagomedov was supposed to travel in the seat near the emergency exit. The airplane staff allegedly couldn't let the Russian fighter as she felt he could not help passengers in an emergency.
Regarding the incident, Bobby Miller's girlfriend shared an Instagram story, a post from "Rolling With The Punches by Natalie Loureda," urging her fans to look into the caption of the post, which read:
Trending
"I would 💯 trust [Khabib Nurmagomedov] in case of an emergency. What do you think the miscommunication was?"
Earlier, reports emerged about the incident on an Alaska Airlines airplane. However, the former UFC pound-for-pound king released a statement on social media about the incident, rectifying the preconceived knowledge.
Look at Nurmagomedov's statement below:
The majority of the sporting community has expressed dissatisfaction at the incident, pointing to Nurmagomedov's stature in combat sports as one of the most respectful fighters ever. Ironically, Nurmagomedov rose to notoriety for his part in the post-fight melee after he defeated Conor McGregor at UFC 229.
Nurmagomedov is in the U.S. as he is the head coach of his protege, Islam Makhachev, the UFC lightweight champion and pound-for-pound king. Makhachev is scheduled to fight at UFC 311, the promotion's first PPV of 2025, against No. 1 contender Arman Tsarukyan in the main event.
Bobby Miller's girlfriend excited for UFC 311
The UFC began 2025 with an exciting fight night card headlined by Mackenzie Dern and Amanda Ribas. Five of the six fights on the main card ended in a finish, and the promotion will be looking for the same excitement with UFC 311 at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
Dana White, the company's CEO, announced the stacked PPV card in December. Bobby Miller's girlfriend, Natalie Loureda, couldn't contain the excitement as she shared an Instagram story on Dec. 6, hinting at her possible presence at the Jan. 18 event.
"Sooooo excited I can't believe we are going," Natalie captioned the post.
Natalie's excitement is warranted, particularly as the card has exciting fights from top to bottom. Headlined by a rematch between Makhachev and Tsarukyan, the co-main event of UFC 311 is a bantamweight title fight between champion Merab Dvalisvhili and the undefeated Umar Nurmagomedov, Khabib's cousin.
The featured bout on the main card is a light heavyweight matchup between two former champions, Jiri Prochazka and Jamahal Hill. Both fighters are coming off knockout losses to Alex Pereira, the current champion.
A middleweight fight between Kevin Holland and former ONE Championship two-division champion Reiner de Ridder, and an exciting lightweight scrap between Beneil Dariush and Renato Moicano round out the PPV main card.
