Ah, yes. This guy prolly wears dresses while he fights, thus what you
  are seeing is a Transvestite Challenge.

Either that, of he was a Tournament Victor at a recent tournament,
  which gives him the right to make higher priority challenges
  until the next Tournament. I'd guess he earned it at the recent
  Face-To-Face.

Come to think of it, it's prolly the second reason. I've never seen
  any mention of what my opponent is wearing in any of the fight
  decriptions that I've gotten. There's nothing you can do about it,
  so don't worry about it. It occurs to me that challenging him might
  be a waste, tho, since it's pretty certain that he will always fight
  whomever he wants to, so you aren't likely to be able to pick him.
