Waldo Cortes-Acosta suffered during his UFC 316 fight against Serghei Spivac on UFC 316.
The UFC returned this Saturday to Newark, New Jersey for UFC 316 when Sean O'Malley was looking for redemption against Merab Dvalishvili in the main event.
The Bantamweight title of the ladies was also on the line in the Co-Main event when Julianna Pena finally met Kayla Harrison in the UFC Octagon.
However, it was a heavyweight fight against the priorities that attracted the attention of many fans because of an embarrassing wardrobe fault half fight.

Waldo Cortes-Acosta changes shorts half fighting after malfunction
After he had achieved four impressive victories under the UFC banner, Waldo Cortes-Acosta was linked to the highly ranked heavyweight competition, Serghei Spivac at the UFC 316 Undercard.
One of the victories of Cortes-Acosta came across the previously impressive Robelis Despaigne, but Dana White was not happy with his performance because he did not want to end to end the fight.
When he came in his fight against 'The Polar Bear', the Dominican probably wanted to do a more impressive achievement, hoping to continue to rise the heavyweight ranks.
Nevertheless, the first two rounds between 'Salsa Boy' and Spivac had landed extremely passively outside of a few large bumps, with not much to separate them.
And in the interval between rounds two and three Cortes-Acosta an embarrassing wardrobe failure so that he stood in the corner of the Octagon with only his slip on.
Shortly thereafter, his team brought a new pair of shorts to the cage to turn into a hilarious reaction from Joe Rogan after Cortes-Acosta decided to throw the sides of his new shorts.
“Your pants change in the middle of the octagon, look at it,” said Daniel Cormier.
“He just torn them himself,” Rogan laughed, while Cortes-Acosta tore the edges.
Daniel Cormier question the decision of the judges
The Dominican then scored his fifth victory in a row and potentially the biggest victory of his career so far, probably his way to the top 10 of the division.
Nevertheless, after the fight, Cormier asked the score cards after one of the judges scored 30-27 in favor of 'Salsa Boy'.
“Yes, he had won the first round and around three he could have won honestly … We went to see this time and again, sometimes the jury members just don't see it as we do,” Cormier criticized.
