UFC Exec reveals Sam Alvey’s spray-tan sponsor logo was against the promotion’s policy

UFC fighter Sam Alvey entered the cage on Saturday night with a spray-tan sponsor logo, which is against UFC policy, according to an executive.

Sam Alvey may be known for his unrelenting smile during fights, but the UFC certainly wasn't smiling when they realized that the fighter had the words "Perfect Tan" spray-tanned onto his chest.

While Alvey would dispose of Daniel Kelly in the opening round, he was later informed that he had violated the UFC policy on sponsorships. Tom Wright, the UFC's executive for Canada, Australia amongst other locations, explained his reasoning in the post-fight press conference.
