Launched less than a month ago, and in use for only five events, the new UFC uniforms manufactured by Reebok have already been the subject of numerous controversies and divided opinions between fans and experts. At UFC on FOX 16, this Saturday night (25), however, the clothes, or lack thereof at a given moment, ended up monopolizing the attention during the preliminary card.

In the second fight of the night, between Jessamyn Duke and Elizabeth Phillips, the top worn by Phillips ended up lifting while she was defending herself from an armbar and left the fighter with part of her right breast exposed in the octagon.
The matter quickly spread across social media and fans' comments were divided between criticism of the quality of the uniforms produced by Reebok, and some problems that the new equipment has been facing, and jokes, not always in very good taste, about what happened.
Despite the small incident, Elizabeth Phillips beat Jessamyn Duke by unanimous decision from the judges and, after two consecutive defeats, she achieved her first victory in the biggest MMA organization on the planet.
