Elizabeth Phillips confident in herself vs. Raquel Pennington, if not her Reebok sports bra

LAS VEGAS — Elizabeth Phillips isn't going to risk it. Not after last time.

The UFC women's bantamweight fighter has one of the biggest fights of her career Saturday night against Raquel Pennington at UFC 202 at T-Mobile Arena. The last thing she needs is a wardrobe malfunction, like the one she experienced in 2015.

In a fight with Jessamyn Duke at UFC on FOX 16, Phillips had serious issues with her Reebok sports bra — it came up during a grappling exchange. That didn't prevent her from winning the fight by unanimous decision.
