And what happens when guys are clinching and the greese gets on the chest from the face?? Do you wipe is all off?? See how ridiculous this all is?? I get that it is a rule, i'm just saying..
I really don't expect Penn to use this as an excuse, or to ask for a rematch...it would shock me...
Bottom line: GSP's boy knows what is and what is not accepted in the corner and shouldn't be wiping vaseline on and then going to the back and chest...

That's something totally different and irrelevant...obviously...
sounds like a penalty is in order. question is severity.
i guess it could range from a 1 year suspension to a slap on the wrist.
To me, a $50k fine seems like it should do the trick.
No suspension...just a fine. Something should be done to keep others from doing something similar...
Different yes, Irrelevant depends on what side you fall on with this. If you are talking about just the rules that is one thing and Phil Nurse screwed up, but if we are talking about greese being the main reason GSP pummeled Penn on the ground, like some idiots are doing, then you have to dive further into all the specifics.. GSP wasn't heavily greesed in all the rds, it was clearly wiped off, so i say throw some fines out, maybe a suspension for Nurse, but that's about it.
The point is that the rules need to be followed and the cornerman for one of the top fighters in the world knows the rules...
yeah of course....I bet his license gets revoked.
Why the do you still go to that site?
Formal complaint coming...

but BJ still gives GSP credit for being the better fighter

Totally different things.
If his corner knowingly "cheated" then it's a huge deal. In no way do I think it changed the outcome of the fight, but in a sport where being able to grip and get leverage is a huge thing this should never happen.
GSP's corner cheated and should get a pretty stiff penalty. Whoever it is that takes the fall for this should be suspended.
and that's not the fake BJ Penn that was on Facebook using that picture. He's gone. Doesn't mean BJ is hitting the keyboard, but that page is his camp...
so many people sucking his balls
why is no one complaining that they wasted 50$ to watch him fight and he looked like
He was out-gunned...why complain about it?
he was out gassed
Out classed in every aspect
Keith Kizer via mmajunkie.com
While the matter remains unresolved for now, Kizer said the NSAC has already dealt with the matter as best it can up this point.
"We wiped [St. Pierre] down very, very hard," Kizer said. "And even after the end of the third round, even though there was no touching of his back with Vaseline, we still wiped him down again after that round, too, just to be safe. You do the best you can to make it back to an even playing field and go from there.
"And I did tell the cornermen that if we ever see this again, that's it for them. I don't know the outcome of this specific incident, but we definitely gave them a warning that if we ever see that happen again that's probably the last time they'd be cornering in Nevada. As far as cornering in the UFC elsewhere, I'll leave that to the owners of the UFC."
Kizer also said it was a shame that such a dominating performance by the UFC's welterweight champion may always have an asterisk beside it in many fans' minds.
"It's just an unfortunate incident," Kizer said. "No fight needs it, especially a fight of this caliber.
"The fans can make their own conclusions on what they felt from their aspect. They saw what I saw for the most part based on some of the .gifs (small video clips) out there showing what happened.
"This may have tainted [St. Pierre's] victory in the eyes of many fans, and it's his cornerman's fault for that. It doesn't take away his victory, but it does take away from his victory in the eyes of many fans, I believe."
It sounds like they are letting the win stand, (I hope) which is really the only thing i care about. fine and suspend guys if you want but calling it a No Contest would seriously damage GSP's reputation and that would just be unfair to him, given how hard he's worked and how good a guy by all accounts he is..
Fedor doesnt use grease.
I know i know, Bad Dbreiden, Bad!!!
im a huge gsp fan but this was just too funny.
lol
IT's a shame the biggest win of his career is being tainted a little with this nonsense. GSP has to be frustrated, i wonder if Greg Jackson is going to get smacked hard for this?? I hope not..
