Former UFC strawweight shows serious flaw in Reebok fight bras (Video)

Live and let dye

All female fighters have to do is avoid sweating and they’ll be fine.

Recently released UFC strawweight Angela Hill has shown that the fight gear provided to UFC fighters is far from perfect.

Hill, who went 1-2 in the promotion before being let go in November, proved that the sports bras that females competing in the UFC must wear aren’t suitable for competition.

The Invicta fighter exhibited the fact that the dye in the pink fight bras runs immediately when it comes into contact with liquid which isn’t exactly ideal for three round fights in which athletes are likely to spill a little bit of sweat.

So if you thought that the octagon has been a little bloodier in the last six months, maybe it was actually just the colour running out of the fight gear.
