Loureda actively follows the UFC and the WWE, which is unsurprising considering her background in Taekwondo. As such, the 24-year-old is eagerly awaiting Sunday's Noche UFC main event bout between Diego Lopes and Jean Silva.

After the featherweights successfully weighed in at or below the division limit, Natalie Loureda shared ESPN MMA's post covering the news on her Instagram story.

"I've been waiting all summer for this matchup," Loureda captioned the post.

Meanwhile, Silva is riding on a 13-fight unbeaten streak, five in the UFC. He last fought in the undercard of UFC 314, submitting Bryce Mitchell in the second round. The 28-year-old has won post-fight bonuses in his last three outings inside the Octagon.

Bobby Miller's girlfriend, Natalie Loureda, attended the festivities in Las Vegas, primarily to cover the UFC 317 PPV, headlined by a lightweight title fight between Ilia Topuria and Charles Oliveira.

While in Las Vegas, the 24-year-old interviewed numerous UFC stars, including Diego Lopes and reigning champion Alexander Volkanovski. She conducted her interview with Lopes in Spanish and shared the clip on her Instagram account.

Loureda also created a lighthearted, humorous segment with Silva, which she likewise posted to her Instagram. Silva's fight team, "The Fighting Nerds," suffered heartbreak at UFC Paris, the recent fight night event. Silva's visible frustration after his teammates' loss had gone viral on social media.

Caio Borralho, the group's leader, lost the main event fight to Nassourdine Imavov by decision, while Maurício Ruffy fell in the co-main event to Benoît Saint-Denis via a second-round submission.
