Bobby Miller's girlfriend Natalie Loureda catches Magomed Ankalaev's attention at UFC media day

Bobby Miller's girlfriend, Natalie Loureda, was at the T-Mobile Arena in connection with covering the upcoming PPV event, UFC 320. Light heavyweight champion Magomed Ankalaev headlines the PPV with Alex Pereira.

On Wednesday, Loureda shared a video on her Instagram story capturing a candid moment with Ankalaev. She was livestreaming from the UFC media day when the champion appeared in the background, walking away alongside his coach, Sukhrab Magomedov.

Spotting him, Loureda raised her hands in greeting, and Ankalaev responded with a smile and the same gesture. Notably, the UFC Embedded crew was following the champion.

Ankalaev won the light heavyweight title at UFC 313, defeating Pereira by unanimous decision. He currently has the second-longest win streak in UFC Light Heavyweight division history with nine victories, tied with Carlos Ulberg.

A victory for Ankalaev at UFC 320 will likely set up a matchup against Ulberg, who knocked out Dominick Reyes at UFC Perth last week. If not, the winner of Jiří Procházka vs Khalil Rountree Jr., who also fights on UFC 320, might get the chance.
