When Katlyn Chookagian walked away from the Octagon at UFC 238 a victorious fighter, the only thing on her mind was a shot at the flyweight title. Having just taken out Joanne Calderwood via unanimous decision and sitting at the top of the 125-pound rankings, it made logical sense for “Blonde Fighter” to get her shot.
According to Chookagian, the UFC offered her a title shot at UFC 242 in Abu Dhabi. One catch: The fight would’ve happened the day before her wedding was to take place. Even though her husband-to-be insisted she take the fight, Chookagian felt confident that the chance would come around again.
