LA Dodgers pitcher Bobby Miller's girlfriend, Natalie Loureda, is unlike any other partner of his teammates. A lifelong martial artist, Loureda longs to work for the WWE one day, where her sister, Lola Vice, is an NXT superstar.
Loureda's experience in martial arts competition is limited to a handful of amateur bouts, but she has deep knowledge, evidenced by her analysis and predictions of UFC fights through her podcast, "Rolling With The Punches with Natalie Loureda."
Bobby Miller's girlfriend recently provided a prediction for the upcoming UFC 311 light heavyweight fight between former champions Jamahal Hill and Jiri Prochazka on Friday's episode of her show.
"I cannot believe I'm watching these fights in person, too," Loureda said (17:01). "Oh my God, I'm so excited! Jamal Hill versus Jiri Prochazka . Oh , I've been waiting for this one. They both lost to Alex Pereira. I don't know, [Robert] Whitaker's taking Hill. Who do you think is going to redeem themselves? I think it's going to be Jiri."
Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker gave his prediction on Thursday's episode of Israel Adesanya's YouTube show "Freestylebender," previewing and predicting the UFC 311 main card. The duo had been heated rivals but struck up a friendship a few days ago.
Whittaker predicted Hill to score an early knockout victory in the fight. However, he also said Prochazka would win if the fight went into the later rounds. As he was friends with Hill and Prochazka, Adesanya refused to provide a pick.
Bobby Miller's girlfriend had already shown her admiration for Prochazka. The Czech Republican fighter had shaved off his head, showing support for Ashly McGarity, a fan who sported the former light heavyweight champion's unique hairstyle before she lost her hair due to chemotherapy.
In addition to the emotional support, Prochaza flew McGarity over to watch UFC 311 live at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles and pledged 1,000,000 Czech Koruna, roughly $50,000. UFC CEO Dana White matched the pledge, making it $100,000.
Bobby Miller's girlfriend once expressed sadness after Robert Whittaker's loss
Robert Whittaker's most recent appearance inside the Octagon ended in a first-round submission loss to Khamzat Chimaev in the co-main event of UFC 308 at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, UAE, on Oct. 26.
Bobby Miller's girlfriend, Natalie Loureda, recapped the fight on her "Rolling With the Punches" podcast. This is what she had to say about Whittaker vs. Chimaev:
"I am so sad for [Robert] Whittaker, but I just knew it was gonna happen. I think Whittaker is the toughest opponent Khamzat [Chimaev] has had so far, and then obviously he took him to the ground and he got him with a face crank and submitted him in Round 1."
Unlike the co-main event, the main event of UFC 308, a featherweight title fight between Max Holloway and Ilia Topuria, surprised Loureda. She couldn't foresee Holloway getting knocked out, as nobody had even scored an official knockdown on the Hawaiian before his fight with the undefeated Georgian.
