CALGARY – Katlyn Chookagian believes she’s in the right mental state, right weight class and surrounded by the right team to fight for a UFC title sooner than later. Chookagian (10-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) competes in a key women’s flyweight bout Saturday at UFC on FOX 30, where she takes on Alexis Davis (19-7 MMA, 6-2 UFC). The matchup pits two of the top-ranked contenders in the recently introduced weight class against one another, and the winner will be in a solid spot in terms of a potential title-shot opportunity. After several months of the division being stuck in a holding pattern due to an injury to inaugural champion Nicco Montano (4-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC), a title fight against Valentina Shevchenko (14-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) is finally set for UFC 228 in September.
