Katlyn Chookagian shuts down retirement rumors ahead of fight against Jessica Andrade

Katlyn Chookagian is excited to start a family with her husband, but that doesn’t mean her fight career is coming to an end any time soon.

Rumors recently swirled that the one-time flyweight title challenger is potentially considering retirement in the near future as she turns her attention away from fighting and toward motherhood.

It turns out Chookagian is definitely excited to begin a family of her own. But she’s not done with fighting just yet or contemplating hanging up her gloves after her next fight.

“I’ve been very honest with how I feel about what I see in my life in the future, and I think sometimes people take that out of context and say, ‘Oh she’s over it, she wants to have kids,’” Chookagian said during UFC Fight Island 6 media day.
