Chookagian is out for a year due to fertility treatment

Alexandr Ormanji March 7, 2024, 1:46 p.m.

UFC fighterKathleen Chookagian has opened up about why she hasn't competed for the past year.

"I've actually been undergoing fertility treatments for the last two years. That's why I thought I was going to quit fighting for a while. But in the last year I've gone through three or four rounds of IVF and I've had two miscarriages. It's been a tough year. But I wanted to take a break from fertility treatments, not only psychologically, but also physically. Going through infertility is so hard. It's so hard that I decided to take a break. It's not only mentally taxing, but physically taxing as well. The summer after my second miscarriage, I gained weight to 77 pounds because of hormones and everything else. It wasn't easy to get back in shape," said Catlin at a media day held ahead of UFC 299.

We will remind, in the framework of UFC 299 Chookagian will hold a bout with Macy Barber.
