UFC’s own ‘Harley Quinn’ has come to the aid of female UFC fighters. The UFC bantamweight sent a message via a tweet after the discussion of woman’s fight gear was trending after Jessica Andrade‘s wardrobe malfunction.
Jessica-Rose Clark tweeted, “Agreed. But to be fair, you can get the tops altered. I ALWAYS get my fight top altered with added material at the top and underarms. That’s why I’ve never had a malfunction. They do still f**ken suck though. Shouldn’t need to get your fight bra altered”
Agreed. But to be fair, you can get the tops altered. I ALWAYS get my fight top altered with added material at the top and underarms. That’s why I’ve never had a malfunction. They do still fucken suck though. Shouldn’t need to get your fight bra altered 😂 https://t.co/wBLQvwoTBW

Just a week before De La Rosa‘s loss to Suarez, Jessica Andrade went head-to-head with Blanchfield. The fight also saw a wardrobe malfunction due to which Andrade lost her concentration and focus. Subsequently, she went on to lose the bout to Blanchfield.
After the fight, the Brazilian fighter said, “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”.
