"I am so sad for Robert Whittaker" - Bobby Miller's girlfriend Natalie Loureda shares thoughts on UFC 308: Ilia Topuria vs. Max Holloway
Dodgers pitcher Bobby Miller's girlfriend Natalie Loureda recapped the recently concluded UFC 308 PPV in Abu Dhabi. Loureda, a combat sports athlete, shared her thoughts on the blockbuster event that saw finishes on both the main and co-main event.
Ilia Topuria knocked out Max Holloway in the third round of the main event. Loureda had high hopes for Holloway. As such, she expressed her disappointment on her "Rolling with the Punches Show" on Instagram.
"I was confident in this fight with Max [Holloway]. He's the BMF. He has never been dropped before [but] the champ is the champ for a reason. Max put up a fight because, in those first two rounds, it was a dog fight," said Loureda.
In the co-main event of the UFC 308, Khamzat Chimaev submitted Robert Whittaker, the former middleweight champion, with a face crank in round 1. The victory didn't seem to surprise Loureda.
"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," said Loureda.
Whittaker suffered gruesome damage as Chimaev's face crank crushed the Australian's jaw. Nonetheless, Whittaker assured fans he was okay in a recent Instagram post.
Loureda's older sister is Lola Vice, a WWE NXT superstar. Loureda is hopeful to team up with her sister, a former MMA fighter, in WWE. Moreover, she had also expressed excitement at Dana White hinting at introducing a 105lbs women's division in the UFC. MMA might also be on her radar.
Bobby Miller's girlfriend Natalie Loureda praises Shara Magomedov's UFC 308 performance
Sharabutdin Magomedov kept his undefeated record intact with a second-round knockout victory over Armen Petrosyan. Magomedov knocked out Petrosyan with a double-spinning back fist, a rarest of the rarest moves. Bobby Miller's girlfriend, Natalie Loureda seemed impressed by the Russian fighter's performance.
"Shara Magomedov [defeated Armen Petrosyan with a] double spinning back fist knockout in round 2. [He] stays undefeated. He should be respected a little bit more in the middleweight division," said Loureda.
Combat sports is not the only area of Loureda's interest. She also closely follows baseball, her boyfriend's sport. Unfortunately, Bobby Miller is not part of the Dodgers World Series roster against the Yankees. However, impressive performances in the 2025 spring training could put him back into the rotation.
