Jessica Andrade ‘lost focus’ because her breast slipped out in Erin Blanchfield fight

Former UFC strawweight champion Jessica Andrade suffered a somewhat embarassing loss at UFC Vegas 69’s main event, but not for obvious reasons. Having gotten submitted by rising prospect Erin Blanchfield, ‘Bate Estaca’ explained that she had to deal with another issue in the match, which did not really involve martial arts.

In an interview with Ag Fight, Andrade revealed what led her to lose concentration mere moments before the crucial takedown that led to the fight-ending rear-naked choke Blanchfield secured in the second round. Though she now feels embarrassed for having worried about it, Jessica said she could not focus on the fight because one of her breasts had slipped out in the middle Erin’s takedown attempt.
