UFC star blames breasts for "distracting" role after tapping out in loss

UFC star Jessica Andrade has claimed her breast fell out of her top before she tapped out in defeat against Erin Blanchfield.

Andrade was competing against rising star Blanchfield in the women's strawweight division at the UFC's latest fight night in Las Vegas as she looked to rekindle her ambitions to become champion again. It was looking to be a tough ask for 'Bate Estaca' who lost her belt to Valentina Shevchenko in 2021, given Blanchfield's reputation as one to beat.

And it turned out to be as tough as promised on paper in the event, with Blanchfield putting on a dominant display to submit her rival in the second round with a rear-naked choke. Andrade was unable to combat the power on the ground of the American who ended her three-fight winning streak going into the bout.
