Ahead of his much-anticipated return to the octagon at UFC 310, Nate Landwehr has shared a deeply personal story that transcends the usual fight hype. The featherweight contender, known as ‘The Train,’ recently revealed the heart-wrenching details of his wife’s miscarriage, a tragedy that has added an emotional layer to his upcoming bout against Doo Ho Choi. As they prepare for the December showdown at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, Landwehr’s candidness offers a poignant glimpse into the fighter’s life outside the ring.
Remembering June Marie
The emotional weight of the miscarriage was shared publicly when Robyn Landwehr took to social media to honor their daughter. “To our little Junebug, our one and only little girl…For as long as mommy and daddy shall live. You’ll never be forgotten my sweet sweet girl, you’re forever in our hearts,” she wrote. These words not only serve as a tribute but also highlight the often-overlooked emotional toll such experiences can have on individuals and families alike.
The Road to UFC 310
Despite the personal setbacks, Nate Landwehr remains focused on his professional career. Coming off a first-round knockout victory against Jamall Emmers at UFC Atlantic City, Landwehr is keen to maintain his momentum in the featherweight division. His record of 4-1 in his last five fights underscores a resilience that is mirrored in his personal life.
Discussing his upcoming fight, Landwehr conveyed a mixed sense of anticipation and resolve. Reflecting on past fights, he mentioned, “I can accept getting knocked out by Herbert Burns, but it weighs on me. It should’ve been kill or killed in that last round (against Ige). Every fight I’ve been in has been a bonus except that fight. I’m gonna try to protect myself this time, but I’m just gonna come out guns blazing, swinging.”
Nate Landwehr’s journey to UFC 310 is interwoven with personal trials that test his spirit far beyond the physical confines of the octagon. As he prepares to face Doo Ho Choi, the story of June Marie will undoubtedly be a somber backdrop to an event typically marked by aggression and competitiveness. Landwehr’s openness about his life’s challenges not only humanizes the fighter but also reminds us of the strength it takes to stand back up, in the ring and in life.
