Jessica Andrade claims an untimely wardrobe malfunction led to the fight-ending sequence in her main event matchup with Erin Blanchfield.

On Saturday night, Andrade stepped into the UFC Vegas 69 headliner on short notice for a showdown with fast-rising contender Erin Blanchfield. ‘Bate Estaca’ entered the bout on a three-fight win streak and was on the cusp of earning another UFC title opportunity until Blanchfield scored a second-round submission over the heavy hitting Brazilian. It was a statement victory for Blanchfield who moved to 5-0 inside the Octagon and slid right into Andrade’s No. 3 spot in the UFC’s women’s bantamweight rankings.

Discussing the loss in an interview with Ag Fight, Jessica Andrade revealed that she had lost focus during Blanchfield’s pivotal second-round takedown when her breast became exposed.

“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,” Andrade explains.

Jessica Andrade Says She Shouldn’t Have Concerned Herself With the Accidental Slip

The slip didn’t appear to be caught on camera during the broadcast, but Andrade said it was enough to distract her from the work Blanchfield was doing which ultimately led to her succumbing to a rear-naked choke.

“All I could think of was my breast,” Andrade continued. “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 game plan. It wasn’t on purpose.”

Of course, this was far from the first time Jessica Andrade’s breast had been exposed to the public. The former UFC strawweight champion had a brief stint on the popular internet content subscription service OnlyFans where she offered X-rated pictures of herself to curious fans armed with a credit card and a sense of adventure.

“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,” she said (h/t Bloody Elbow)

Following last night’s win over Jessica Andrade, UFC flyweight Erin Blanchfield eyes a title bid against long-time champion Valentina Shevchenko.

The main event of UFC Vegas 69 saw Blanchfield overcome former promotional champion, Jessica Andrade. Blanchfield, just 23 years old, submitted the dynamic and always dangerous Andrade in just the second round.

Although known for her grappling skills, Blanchfield kept it competitive on the feet in the first round with Andrade, who is one of the most capable strikers in the division. During her post-fight press conference, the American discussed her phenomenal performance.

“She definitely hits very hard”, said Banchfield. “I feel like I was doing a pretty decent job – I was definitely hitting her back, staying light on my feet. Tried to stay long and when she comes in heavy, clinch. I was just trying to work my game.”

“I never felt rocked, I knew I wouldn’t want to eat too many of them and you never know, the one you don’t see coming can definitely put you away.”

Erin Blanchfield Vs. Valentina Shevchenko

With the win, Blanchfield has put herself in a prime position to be the next challenger for the flyweight title, which will be contested between reigning champion Valentina Shevchenko and challenger Alexa Grasso next month.

While Grasso is no joke, Shevchenko has ruled the division since 2018 and until her most recent defense Talia Santos, her reign has been at times uncompetitive.

However, Blanchfield is up for the challenge and is hopeful that Shevchenko can get passed Grasso, so she can be the one to dethrone the 135lb ruler.

“I would prefer Shevchenko,” Blanchfield said. “I think she beats Grasso, I think Grasso is a very tough fighter but I want to be the one that takes it from her.”
