Rear-Naked Choke Radio: CFFC Champion Katlyn Chookagian Talks McGregor-Diaz

Katlyn Chookagian (@BlondeFighter) knows about fighting, because she does it for a living.

She joined Joe Rizzo (@RearNakedChoke) on Rear-Naked Choke Radio to break down the UFC 196 fights, adding her cagey insight to the match-ups between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz, and the women’s 135-pound title fight between Holly Holm (another blonde fighter) and Miesha Tate.

Chookagian is the Cage Fury Fighting Championships’ 125-pound champion. She defends her title March 19 at the 2300 Center in Philadelphia. In addition to being a rising force at flyweight, Chookagian (6-0 professional, 7-0 amateur) is a fan and student of MMA.

She dove into mental and physical analysis of McGregor-Diaz and Holm-Tate, and gave her front-row, eye-witness account of the ill-fated side-show Bellator card that featured Ken Shamrock vs. Royce Gracie, and Kimbo Slice vs. Dada 5000.

Other topics included women in Bellator MMA, the state of Invicta FC, the effects of switching weight classes like McGregor, Frankie Edgar’s injury, Corey Anderson’s nickname, predictions for UFC 196 and why she must follow Robin Black (@RobinBlackMMA).
