MIAMI – Initially, Katlyn Cerminara (formerly Chookagian) tacked her absence from fighting up to some nagging injuries. But behind the scenes, a more sensitive personal health battle was ongoing.
For the past year, Cerminara (18-5 MMA, 11-5 UFC) has undergone fertility treatments, a mentally and physically taxing process, and had multiple miscarriages.
She opened up about her situation Wednesday at a UFC 299 pre-fight news conference in an effort to have a conversation she doesn’t think is held enough – but could help others watching.
