Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Bobby Miller’s girlfriend Natalie Loureda is the sister of WWE NXT superstar Lola Vice, real name Valerie Loureda. Like Valerie, Natalie is a lifelong martial artist but has not competed professionally like her older sister.
Nonetheless, Miller’s girlfriend has deep knowledge of the sport, evidenced by the previews, predictions and recaps of UFC events she does on her “Rolling with the Punches” podcast.
In Friday’s podcast episode, Natalie previewed the upcoming UFC 311 PPV. She made an interesting comparison between bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili and challenger Umar Nurmagomedov, who will fight in the co-main event of the PPV.

“Merab [Dvalishvili] versus Umar Nurmagomedov. Umar is Khabib’s primo (Spanish for cousin) and currently undefeated, while Merab has been climbing to the top, making it look super easy, taking the belt from the champion, Sean [O’Malley]” Natalie said. [Timestamp from 17:20]
Merab and Umar have been bickering at each other for some time, and Natalie sees it as childish.
“Now, Umar has a lot to lose with the undefeated record, but Morav is currently the champion. I always thought Merab was the champ of wrestling, but Umar is the king of wrestling,” Natalie added. [Timestamp from 17:42]
Bobby Miller’s girlfriend defended Khabib Nurmagomedov after the retired UFC legend faced an unfortunate situation inside a Frontier Airlines airplane. She also praised Jiri Prochazka, after the former light heavyweight champion offered emotional and financial assistance to a fan who was battling cancer.
Bobby Miller’s girlfriend predicted an upset at the UFC 311 main event, but the underdog pulled out
Islam Makhachev, the pound-for-pound king was supposed to fight Arman Tsarukyan, the number one contender, in the main event of UFC 311. Even though Makhachev was a huge betting favorite, Natalie predicted Tsarukyan would spring an upset on her podcast.
However, the Armenian fighter pulled out of the fight, citing a back injury. That didn’t mean the lightweight title fight was scrapped. Renato Moicano, originally scheduled to fight Beneil Dariush, stepped up to replace Tsarukyan, his American Top Team teammate.
Bobby Miller’s girlfriend will watch the fights live from the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
-UFC 310, the previous PPV saw Miller’s former teammate Jack Flaherty and Padres ace Joe Musgrove in attendance.
Aaron Judge, Pete Alonso, Bo Bichette and many more MLB stars also watched UFC on ESPN: Colby Covington vs. Joaquin Buckley, the promotion’s final event of 2024, live from Tampa Bay, Florida.
