Katlyn Cerminara shares stories of fertility treatment and miscarriages

Katlyn Chookagian, who now goes by her married surname Carminara, recently opened up on her struggle with fertility. It is not a subject many prefer to speak about in public, and Carminara admitted that she was hesitant as well. However, she decided that it was an important conversation to have to help others going through the same.

At the UFC 299 pre-fight press conference, Carminara said:

"I went through three or four full rounds of IVF. I had two miscarriages and yeah, it’s been a tough year... Going through infertility is so hard. It’s so hard that I’m taking a fight to take a mental and physical break from fertility treatment."

Carminara is returning to UFC after 1.5 years to fight No.6-ranked Maycee Barber on Saturday, March 9.

However, Michael Chandler seems confident about the matchup and announced the commencement of a "special camp" later on X. He predicted he would "break" McGregor in 2 rounds.

Sean Strickland has theories about Ryan Garcia

After blasting Bryce Hall for his reaction to Garcia's pedophile accusations, Strickland unearthed that the 35-year-old has been training since he was seven. He went on to rip into the "horrible" sport of boxing and said it was "borderline child abuse" for kids to spar inside the ring.
