Impact Katona first received his UFC shot by winning season 27 of The Ultimate Fighter. He was released following a two-fight losing streak in 2019, but got another chance in season 31, when he took a razor-thin decision from Cody Gibson. Since then, he has lost three of four fights in his second run, including back-to-back defeats. A first-round finish at the hand of Bekzat Almakhan in May proved to be the final straw. At 33 years old, it's unclear what the next steps are.
