TORONTO – It looks like everything was meant to be for Brad Katona to be fighting at UFC 297.
Katona (13-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC), a two-time winner of The Ultimate Fighter, feels he’s hitting a “full circle” in his fighting career this Saturday when he takes on Garrett Armfield to close out the preliminary card of UFC 297. It’s a weird coincidence, but also a good omen for Katona’s return to the octagon.
“If we’re talking about full circle, the first time I did The Ultimate Fighter, my first fight was UFC Toronto. It was UFC 231,” Katona explained at Wednesday’s UFC 297 media day. “And now, this time I came from the finale again and my first fight is UFC Toronto. So, completely full circle and looking to replicate history and getting that W again.”
