Completed by Erin Blanchfield No. UFC Las Vegas 69, held last Saturday (18), Jessica Stacker pointed out an unusual justification for the stumble. Climbing at the last minute for the event, the woman from Paraná indicated that a distraction with her uniform influenced the setback. According to the Brazilian, the action of covering her exposed breast opened gaps for the opponent's action, resulting in the outcome in the fast lane.
“It’s not an excuse, but I got distracted. When she entered the fall, she (Blanchfield) threw her shoulder under the top and my chest came out completely. At the time, I lost focus and forgot to defend, thinking only about my chest. The moment I went to put her chest back in, that was the moment she managed to fall”, said Bate-Estaca, in an interview with 'Ag.Fight'.

Although she indicated the reason for the setback, Jéssica chose to value her opponent's qualities. At the end of the confrontation, the Brazilian was satisfied with the result.
"It's part of the game. She (Blanchfield) had a very good strategy and it wasn't intentional. We have to be ready for anything. I should have prepared myself so that, if the breast appears, I let it appear. It’s appeared so many times in so many places, I shouldn’t even be worried about it,” she concluded.
substitute for Taila Santos No. UFC Las Vegas 69, Bate-Estaca had a balanced fight until the moment she was taken down and submitted by Erin in the second round. With the setback, the athlete ended a streak of three consecutive victories, two of which were in flyweight (up to 56,7kg). The woman from Paraná also temporarily moves away from a new title fight in the group led by Valentina Shevchenko.
