Katlyn Chookagian finds herself in a complicated spot as she is no longer under contract with the UFC. Her contract came to an end after her fight with Jennifer Maia at UFC Vegas 46 this past weekend.
Katlyn Chookagian finds herself in an odd spot as she wants to continue with the UFC but isn't sure what the promotion is planning for her. She'd still like to continue with the promotion.
“This was the last fight on my contract, and usually when you have one more, they renegotiate your contract,” Chookagian said during UFC Vegas 46’s post-fight press conference (via MMA Fighting). “So when they offered this fight, I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m up for negotiation for a new contract,’ and they were like, ‘Oh no, we want you to fight this [contract] out.’
“That doesn’t necessarily mean they’re going to cut me, but it’s usually not good news. Hopefully with this performance, I’d like to think they want to keep me. I want to stay here. So hopefully I proved that tonight.”
Dana White was also asked about her UFC contract during the post-fight press conference. The President of the organization said it wasn't up to him.
“I know that we went into this fight with her contract, it’s expired now,” White said. “She’s a free agent right now. I don’t know. That was between her and Mick [Maynard], he did that deal with her. So we’ll see what happens.”
The contract situation with Katlyn Chookagian and the UFC is an interesting one as she has the same management as Francis Ngannou. Her situation will be one to watch.
