Jessica Andrade, who was defeated by Erin Blanchfield in the UFC Fight Night 219 main event, reveals that issues with her top played into the finish of her bout against Blanchfield.
“This is not an excuse, but when she came for the takedown, I lost focus. Because when she moved in, she put her shoulder just under my top and my breast completely slipped out. I lost focus and forgot to counter,” she explained to AG Fight (via Bloody Elbow). “All I could think of was my breast. When I used my hand to put my breast back in the top, that’s when she was able to take me down. It’s all part of the game, though. It’s not an excuse. She really had a great gameplan. It wasn’t on purpose. We have to be ready for everything. I should’ve been prepared to let my breast be out if it slipped out. It has been shown in so many places before. I shouldn’t even be worried about that.”
The UFC and Venum recently extended their deal beyond the initial three years partnership, neither the UFC or Venum have commented on the alleged issues with the fight kits.
