Don’t call it a dress code, but from now on, UFC fighters have to look a little spiffier for media obligations. UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson on Monday passed along word that his preferred flip-flops and shorts are a no-no moving forward. Henderson forwarded a message from the fight promotion: “Per Jackie, effective immediately, fighters and talent traveling on press tours and PR/marketing-related appearances are no longer permitted to wear shorts or flip flops. Jeans are acceptable and shoes are a must.” The news put a big wrinkle in “Smooth”‘s day. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m gonna dress how my employers want but doesn’t mean I gotta be happy about it,” Henderson wrote on Facebook , adding, “Don’t let the man hold you down”…”Fight the power”…”You can take my life but you can never take my FREEDOM!!!” In an email to MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com), a UFC official said it was much ado about little.
