Loses in return from long layoff

March 9, 2024
Cerminara lost to Maycee Barber via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 28-29) at UFC 299 on Saturday in Miami.
ANALYSIS
If you've seen one Cerminara fight, you've seen them all. Katlyn is a tall, long striker who typically does just fine in prolonged kickboxing matches, but she has no power and no means of generating secondary offense, and she really struggles when an opponent is able to close the distance on her and make it an ugly fight. Barber wasn't able to do that on a consistent basis here, but she did it frequently enough to earn the decision. Cerminara is in a near-impossible spot moving forward. She's now 35 years of age and hadn't fought in nearly a year and a half prior to this one. Katlyn's last victory came in May 2022 over Amanda Ribas via split decision. Her place in the rankings is directly related to the lack of depth in the 125-pound female division.

Return scheduled
FlyweightUFC
December 6, 2023
Cerminara will compete against Maycee Barber in a flyweight fight at UFC 299 on March 9, according to Alex Behunin of MMA Mania.
ANALYSIS
For the first time in over a year, Cerminara (formerly Chookagian) is scheduled to fight. Cerminara will remain at flyweight despite the disastrous 36 hours she underwent up to UFC 280. She missed weight for a fight with Manon Fiorot, who eventually won their fight via decision.
Loses after missing weight

Chookagian lost to Manon Fiorot via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC 280 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
ANALYSIS
It's been a disastrous past 36 hours for Chookagian. She missed weight by 1.5 pounds Friday morning, forfeited 20 percent of her purse in order for the bout to continue and then had her four-fight winning streak snapped. Katlyn did what she always does, standing at distance and throwing a ton of strikes with little power behind them. It worked for about a round before Fiorot was able to find the range and avoid most everything Chookagian sent back her way. It's extremely difficult to poke holes in Katlyn's 11-5 record in her first 16 UFC bouts, but she has no history of defeating high-end competition and flopped badly in her lone title shot against Valentina Shevchenko in February 2020. The soon-to-be 34-year-old isn't a legitimate title contender despite all the success she has had inside the Octagon.
Misses weight, forfeits 20 percent

Chookagian will forfeit 20 percent of her purse after she weighed in 1.5 pounds overweight for her flyweight bout with Manon Fiorot at UFC 280 on Saturday, MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The pair was originally scheduled to face off in early September, but Chookagian was forced to withdraw and the bout was rescheduled for this weekend. She opted not to be weighed a second time after exceeding the flyweight limit Friday, and Fiorot agreed to fight a heavy opponent with a purse penalty.

Chookagian will face Manon Fiorot in a flyweight matchup at the UFC event on Sept. 3, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Chookagian was originally scheduled to fight Fiorot, but was forced out of the fight in June. Jessica Andrade stepped in to replace Chookagian and take on Fiorot, but after Andrade dropped out, Chookagian is back. Both fighters enter the Octagon having won their previous fights.

Chookagian is out of her fight against Manon Fiorot on Sept. 3, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear what forced Chookagian out of this flyweight matchup. The UFC has already tabbed Jessica Andrade to take her place against Fiorot. Chookagian was last in the Octagon back in May when she defeated Amanda Ribas by split decision.
