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. “I went through three or four full rounds of IVF. I had two miscarriages and yeah, it’s been a tough year,” Cerminara told MMA Junkie and other reporters.
