Greg Jackson: St. Pierre rubdown was witchcraft, not cheating

Props: MMAWeekly

"So in between rounds, (Team St. Pierre's Steven Friend) had this little drill that you do – and Phil Nurse is the one who knows how to do it ... he rubbed your back and tapped your chest; I don’t know exactly how it works. But anyways, what that’s supposed to do is get your energy in line, or motivated or whatever. So in between rounds, we had Phil Nurse do that. The controversy came because Phil Nurse also was putting Vasoline on Georges’ eyebrows ... So Phil Nurse put all the Vasoline on his face, so his hands might have had a miniscule amount left over from that, when he went around the side and rubbed a little point on his back, and tapped on his chest ... If we were trying to grease the back we’d be greasing up and down, we would make it count. We wouldn’t do a little tiny spot in the back ... The whole greasing thing is pretty ridiculous ... They check your body before you get into the cage, there’s an inspector right there. In order for us to grease him up, it would be insane. There are cameras everywhere. We don’t cheat. We don’t need to cheat to win."

-Head trainer Greg Jackson defends the coaching strategies implemented during the welterweight title fight between star pupil Georges St. Pierre and bitter rival BJ Penn at UFC 94 last Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Team St. Pierre's Steven Friend, whom Jackson describes as a "Witch Doctor," implemented the procedure to help "Rush" get his energy in order. Probably a lot cheaper than a Red Bull, but an unusual tactic nonetheless. Then again this comes from a camp who must give themselves titty-twisters prior to each fight. Hard to argue with anything at Jackson's camp considering what GSP and fellow UFC title holder Rashad Evans have been able to do under his tutelage.

No amount of lube would have softened then entry of this beating.

no but it does make it alot easier to pass someones guard. if you dont believe me try it. i think gsp still wins. but he wouldn’t have delivered so much damage had he not been slipping his guard so easily. he had trouble the first two rounds passing guard, but had no trouble at all in rounds three and four, after the so called witchcraft. i have a friend that can next to never slip my guard but we tried it today with petro on his back and he slipped it consistently
even after we wiped it off. your lesg just cant get any traction on the other persons skin. i couldn’t believe it.

WRONG!

Vaseline on back will not help to pass guard, only vaseline on legs will help with that (of the guy who is passing)

gooooooood day~ my mmanerdz!

just stopped in to let u all know i had a great time this weekend.

imo~ i thought uc94 was pretty dang good. i sat 10th row.

after my first bets of the year on mma~ i made 17k on the night.

my wrong picks were~ stun-gun~ diaz~ and bonnar.
~~\

back on topic~

this excuse talk needs to stop!

gsp owned bj. i dont want to hear that bj had an off night either!

if u have ‘off nights’??

then ur not a 100% fighter. it means u have a flaw!…

that “off night” crap needs to stop~

just like the “jelly belly” talk..

bj needs to go back and dominate the lw division like he knows he can!

that said~

gsp needs to stay at ww!! no sense in going up to get murdered by andy.

great show 94 was except guida beat my homie nate.

adamG~ hows my G doing??

-that’s funny that you say that becuase that has been gsp and his fan’s excuse for all of his losses. Not sticking up for BJ but just pointing out how biased people are on these sites.

If he was greased BJ or his corner men would have complained between rounds end of story, BJ and his corner are looking for any excuse for the beating he took. If I was his manager I would play it too? Maybe not that could set up another fight with GSP? I don’t think BJ would want that again.

Puck head speaks the truth. I bet Georges would give him another rematch too if he wanted. See if he would fare any better after accusing him of cheating. Also forgot to mention this yesterday – GSP was the first man to cut BJ, like i semipredicted in a question format!!!!

GSP was just to much for Penn, Penn is still the #1 LW out there no reason for him to hang his head. I know he hates losing but I hope he man’s up and gives GSP some respect. I think BJ’s mouth before was great for building up the hype to the fight. I just think he thought it would be closer but GSP even beat him on the stand up were most thought BJ was better? GSP is only 27 and is all ready a hall of fame fighter! I have a lot of respect for BJ stepping into the ring against a bigger opponent I just hope he doesn’t blame it on the vas, I would lose alot of respect for him as a fan.

by Beaver on Feb 2, 2009 7:27 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

trblkd, not even close. NO ONE made any excuses for GSP losing to Hughes, because he was expected to lose. He came back and raped Serra so maybe he did have a bad night. Now BJ on the other hand has lost ALL 3 of his last WW fights and there has been nothing but EXCUSES. GSP raped the last 3 guys he fought at WW, yet people are still finding excuses to try and justify why BJ isn’t able to beat GSP. The answer is simple if you look at their last 3 fights at WW. BJ = 3 losses, GSP = 3 Dominations. How unlucky do you guys think BJ is? It will all make sense as soon as you admit to yourself just how good GSP really is.

okay, so at the start of a fight, you have Vaseline on your face.. you take your opponents back and you’re low maintaining the position, arms wrapped around him for a suplex… and the vaseline from your face is rubbing all over his back around the shoulder blades and up. Should we then rule that fight a no contest too?

I’m just saying, like if Georges kicked BJ in the face, and then BJ had a heel hook attempt that didn’t work out or something would BJ be bitching because there was Vaseline on his leg?

I watched it again, and Friend made a circle the size of a fist between the shoulder blades and rubbed his shoulders once then he did some wierd thing in the air. There wasn’t anywhere near enough Vaseline for that to be a factor.

Can we get past the debate on this issue please. Let’s get to the real stuff. Like, the awesome explanaition “chi” for accidentally putting vaseline on ones back.
My wife saw that guy gently carresing GSP between rounds, and asked me if I thought that was a violation of manlaw?
I’m gonna vote yes on that one.

by Jrandolph on Feb 2, 2009 11:06 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

We can all speculate about the issue and Jackson may say they didn’t do it with the purpose of cheating. At the end of the day the NSAC inspector saw the amount of vaseline being enough for him to make sure it was wiped off.

by Diablo on Feb 2, 2009 11:24 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Not if it’s a small point. Think of a massage, you put the pressure on a small, small area (about the size of two fingers). If a large amount of lube was applied to the outside of GSP’s back where Penns legs were sliding they may have something. But that far up and to the centre of the lat, sorry, this had nothing to do with Penn beatdown.

by SilasM on Feb 2, 2009 7:30 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Get over it you losers. If there was anything significant enough on his back it was rubbed off by the cage side officials. You make it sound like he was dipped in baby oil sliding in and out of BJ’ Guard like a trout. BJ got his ass kicked and that result would be the same even if then used an industrial dryer to get all GSP’s sweat off between rounds.

BJ got dominated in every aspect of the game, in every minute and every round of the fight. Period.

by Hal on Feb 2, 2009 9:39 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

It was rubbed off by an official, check the replay before they start RND 3. The official even tells GSP conrnerman not to touch his back anymore and he asks for a towel from another official.

by Diablo on Feb 2, 2009 11:26 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Does anyone not think that maybe BJ running out of gas in the 2nd round might have had something to do with why GSP was able to pass his guard so easily? Add to that a broken nose and being on your back as it trickles down your throat restricting your breathing while a beast like St. Pierre is smashing you.

by SpiderStyle on Feb 2, 2009 11:54 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

That wouldn’t have anything to do with BJ GASSING would it or all the DAMAGE he was taking? GSP was still fresh in the 3rd and BJ wasn’t, plain and simple. BJ lost this fight for one reason and one reason only. It had to do with GSP applying vasoline (from BJ’s face) to his gloves and elbows over and over again.

by Gord on Feb 3, 2009 1:55 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Here we go.I knew that all the BJ Penn lovers would have some sort of excuse to use when the pudgey motor mouth got what was coming to him.Fact of the matter was BJ was exhausted by rounds 3 and 4 that is why GSP passed so easily.Coouple that with GSP’s ability on the ground.Point is BJ ran his mouth calling GSP a quiter and a bitch for tapping in the Matt Serra fight and got the pounding he had coming to him.This serves as a notice to everyone to never piss GSP off and never count him out.

i agree gsp still wins he was so much bigger than penn. he just outmuscled him. but i think it would have went the distance had he not passed his guard so easily. we tried it today at the gym, and aguy that never passes my guard passed it consistently, i couldn’t get any traction on his skin whatsoever. even after we wiped it off. that said, gsp would have still won the decision, but he wouldn’t have given bj that much damage without side control. bj is a lt wt and should fight at a natural weight. its just too hard to beat a guy that has you by that much weight. gsp looked amazing in almost every facet. I hope he doesn’t move up to fight Anderson because he may suffer the same fate. i believe he has the tools to beat A Silva, but silva has to be the favorite and i think his size will give gsp the same troubles and frustrate him, not to mention silva’s technical skills.

Ok, lather up with a couple of layers of lotion, let it dry, then get yr sweat on, see how slippery it gets when grappling… now that’s the way to cheat, not in plain site and rub on a small portion of the body. Maybe we need to see a highlight reel of the lotion rub technique in GSP’s corner to get a confirmation of what exactly happened.

by DAVE on Feb 2, 2009 3:41 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Apparently the vasoline also was helping him out box Penn. This was a one sided beating of epic proportions. Penn spent more time getting pounded on his back than Jenna Jameson on prom night.

by naturalshadow on Feb 2, 2009 11:24 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

DAVE…who is saying that he layered on the vaseline then let it dry off before going to the cage to “get his sweat on”???? Nobody is saying that except for you. They’re saying that his cornermen put a little on his back between rounds (between his shoulder blades no less) and that the offcials saw and wiped it off. Being that the officials saw the whole thing go down do you really think they would let the fight go on if they thought it would make any difference at all. BJ got fed, and badly at that…..it’s pretty straight forward. Out classed in every aspect of the game. He passed guard easily because of skill, size, and strength on his part and lack of conditioning on the part of Penn. You and you’re buddies can lube each other up all you want at your gym (parents basement) it won’t change the fact that BJ Penn got destroyed and quit on the stool.

the end.

well done on this find…one gif was between roun 2 and 3 when the official wiped off whatever might have been there.
the other gif was between 1 and 2…the vid started too late, as it failed to show the vaseline dude rubbing his temple NUMEROUS times before moving to the shoulders and back. this would have eliminated much of the grease. it also fails to show how little lube was placed on those 2 fingers to begin with.
BJ, shut the f#@$ up!!!

Thoughts On BJ v. GSP

I am a BJ nuthugger. All I can say is that BJ took a butt whooping. No excuses. The better man won. Congrats to the classy and humble CHAMPION, GSP!

I read some posts back that Alves will take it to GSP.

Hmmm…I don’t think so. I look at the list of people GSP has destroyed and I doubt that Alves can bring anything new besides a steroid bloated physique.

Machida is the man! I have been riding his sack for awhile now. Ask Thiago if Machida is “boring”. Hop on the Machida bandwagon, boys…

Diaz needs to act more humble and not showboat in the ring.

Jones is the truth.

BJ (whom i am a HUGE fan) got his ass handed to him definitively. He broke. He quit. He will have to eat ALL the words. For him to try to say GSP was cheating is ridiculus. With ALL the cameras, personell who inspect, and all the hype surrounding this fight, GSP would have to be stupid and crazy to cheat IN-BETWEEN rounds when he was ALREADY DOMINATING!

BJ needs to shut his mouth, train, and get back on track at LW.

Its pretty evident that they werent trying to cheat and that the outcome would have been the same. BJ just didnt look his usual self although according to the hawian news channel he done an interview for, he said he was 100per?? However they will argue about the cheating thing??? very strange!! he should have just trained his ass off like GSP then there would be no room for doubt!

I could be wrong and maybe BJ did give it his all, but that wasnt the BJ we all know, or was GSP just that good??

by mo on Feb 2, 2009 2:10 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

mo, have you ever tried to hold guard on a guy that has petro on his skin? its hard enough to hold aguy thats sweaty, but if you lube up its damn near impossible. it pretty much nullifies any jiu-jitsu advantage you may have because you just cant grip the other guys body. i thought this was some bs until we tried it at my gym earlier. i thought bj ws bein’ a b!tch until i tried to triangle a dude i thrash all the time when we are sweaty but when he put the jelly on i never came close to having control of him. he went side mount 8 out of 8 times and he hasn’t gotten side mount that many times in the last eight months. i still think gsp would have won no doubt. but i don’t think he would have delivered the damage without the advantage to get sidemount, that is where he did the majority of his damage.

put petro on your skin wipe it off with a towel and then tell me how much you got off of you. it doesn’t take much. i’m a gsp fan but i find it odd he started passing bj’s guard with ease the round after all this happened. much easier than the rounds before. and as for wiping it off, my friend has taken two showers since we
fought earlier and still can feel it on there. maybe you should start fighting so you could have a convo about something you have knowledge about.

Just rewatch the fight and look how tired and drained BJ looks between round 2/3 which is when the incident occured. Even rogan mentions it in his commentary how tired he looks after being beat on for the last 2-3minutes of the round. The very small amount left on might make difference against a fresh opponent but simply reviewing and you could see BJ was already losing belief and the energy needed to control a guy like gsp.

in any event is this going to be the new light weight bitch after every fight? first kenny florian saying huerta greased just because he couldn’t finish him and now bj penn because he doesn’t train?

It doesn’t matter either way. That was one of the most dominating ass whoopin’s I have ever seen. Actually I haven’t seen a beating like that since I opened my xmas presents early one year and my father whooped my fuckin ass. BJ looked scared, I am a huge BJ fan and respect GSP but god damn was that insanely impressive. He was sweaty, and the witchcraft shizz is prolly legit. I dont really think a little vaseline would matter anyway. Greg Jackson is a classy guy who is fair and plays by the rules. He is the smartest man in MMA when it comes to gameplans (along with co-trainer Mike Winkeljon, whom Jackson gives all credit to). This should be forgotten and no way should it tarnish anything he did.

What a joke. Cheating is cheating, it doesn’t matter if it changed the outcome of the fight. GSP would probably won either way. But what he did was cheating, when you watch the replay of it you can see what they are doing. People saw it, the officials saw it, dana saw it, and even some of the fighters saw it. Cheating is cheating.

So what’s your solution? Disqualify him? That would be a completely outrageous course of action. Deduct a point? GSP still won via TKO so it wouldn’t make a difference. BJ also poked GSP in the eye in their first fight. Last time I checked, that’s against the rules. I hope you got this upset about him “cheating”.

If the NSAC says it was cheating, then it was cheating and the corner man should be suspended and fined. But to change the outcome of Penn’s beatdown they would have to believe that GSP knew about it or that it actually had an impact on the outcome of the fight.

That means nothing! Saying that makes you sound like a petulant child. If you’re saying it’s cheating, then what should they do about it? I don’t think this is an issue in any way, but I don’t understand people taking some moralistic stance about how “cheating is cheating” without offering anything beyond that. If you’re going to say it’s cheating, at least say what you think should be done about it.

I disagree. It’s such a pathetic case of sour grapes it’s not worth GSP responding too. BJ “Pineapple Chunk” Penn should accept his defeat gracefully and crawl back down to the Light weight division with his tail between his legs. If only his MMA was as strong as his bitterness and as loud as his mouth. BTW, does anyone think GSP dragged the fight out to give BJ an extra beating? I’m not saying he definetly did but he controlled BJ so well it’s not out of the question….

he can gain sidemount easily to deliver alot more damage than he can when in the guard. do any of you guys fight or do you just talk with no real knowledge. if you want to nullify a great guard or good jits lube up and you will pass guard like its not even there. you can get caught in an arm triangle, deep and pull out of it with ease becuase the other guy can’t get any grip on your shoulder.

There were only trace amounts of vaseline in a small area near the back of his neck and traps.

Buttcrack Bin Laden;
Stop commenting your ignorant. You putting lube on ur buddy and him slipping your guard is totally irrelevant to the situation. Phil Nurse rubbed the spot on his back between his shoulder blades which in no way would give him in advantage in passing BJ’s guard, only thing it would help would be stopping him from getting his leg up for rubber guard and triangle attempts. BUt GSP was in at least half guard most of the time anyways so BJ’s offence was not affected. So you want to argue something argue that not GSP passing his guard.

Really Buttcrack, if youre so good at Jits you would know that a guy that has great posture, such as GSP can have a much better chance of passing guard. and Posturing up is a way to prevent/escape a triangle. Actually learn some Jits before you question my credibility.

We also have to remember when this happened; between rds 2 and 3. GSP won a close first and destroyed Penn in the second. There is absolutley no reason to believe that he was concerned going in to the 3rd.

This whole thing happened after round 2. Round 2 was where GSP was killing BJ, passing his guard, and it was a 10-8 round. I don’t see where it made a difference.

Besides, they wiped it off before the start of round 3 anyway.

BJ looked nervous before the fight and not himself, but the last thing a monster like GSP needed was any kind of additional advantage whether it was intentional or not.

Looking back on the fight, the only shot BJ had was when he pulled rubber guard in the second. GSP is super hard to submit, but to add some extra slickness to his back against a guy whose main asset is his jits, even if GSP just beat him to kingdom come, is a damn shame. Even if it was a mistake, wtf.

I really hope that there was nothing there (tho an official jumping at him with a towel is not a promising image) because I had very much gotten used to the notion that BJ deserved to get his ass kicked by the humble hard-working GSP because of all his trash talking.

If there was some foul play after all this I think I’m gonna short circuit. The last thing this fight needed was ANY kind of controversy.

by revjames13 on Feb 2, 2009 4:57 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

GSP was already ground-and-pounding Penn in the 2nd round, before Lube-gate happened. Of course it only got harder for BJ to control GSP from the bottom as he got more tired and both fighters become sweaty.

If you watch GSP at the start of the fight he is doing it himself so it’s easy to see it was just a relaxation technique.I’m sorry but GSP is the type of guy who likes to silence his doubters so why would he give them any sort of ammo to use against him.I just doesn’t make sense.BJ moaned about the decision in the first fight and as a big GSP fan even I have to say he had a very strong case but now he’s just coming across as a guy who can’t take it when he gets beat.If he want’s to be a legend in the sport then why not be more like Randy Couture who accepts his losses and learns from them not bitches and moans when he doesn’t win.

For any of you who live in Hawaii and watched KHON2 news at 6 understand that this whole story got taken out of context. JD Penn said it himself that the Penn camp is in no way discrediting GSP for the win, but instead are arguing that in future fights substances such as vasoline be applied only to a fighters face. KHON 2 also got an exclusive interview with Penn and he stated that he’s unsure if he will now retire, or continue fighting. He went on to say that he’s given the UFC nearly ten years of his life. He wants to just go home and spend time with his daughter. He nor the Penn camp ever discredited GSP’s win. The file they made to the NSAC was so they could be informed what was being rubbed on the back and shoulders of GSP. It’s funny how when people lose a fight, we only get to hear on side of the story. A story that will eventaully get 200 posts on this thread.

by pUniSHment on Feb 2, 2009 6:31 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

Interesting insight pUniSHment. I’ve been scouring the net looking for some sort of post-fight comments from BJ personally or his camp without luck. This is the first inside scoop I’ve had. From the sound of it, it’s perhaps not as excusatory as we were lead to believe.
However, the timing is completely off if this isn’t a “witch-hunt” and is intended only to ensure that future fights have better communication regarding what substances are applied to a fighters’ body. Why file a formal complaint vs. submitting a recommendation to the Athletic Commission? A complaint is an expression of discontent.

On one hand – “The file they made to the NSAC was so they could be informed what was being rubbed on the back and shoulders of GSP”

On the other hand – “He nor the Penn camp ever discredited GSP’s win”

You cant have this both ways. The answer they seek is to discredit GSP. Is it to praise GSP for his victory? Is it to honor GSP for his conditioning? What context do you want everyone to view this? – with the left hand or the right? 200 posts would not even come close in matching all the negative rhetoric that has come from BJ and his camp over the last 4 months. No class. No class.

“He wants to argue that in future fights substances such as Vaseline be applied only to a fighters face”? What would be the point of filing a compliant about a rule that is already established? “The file they made to the NSAC was so they could be informed what was being rubbed on the back and shoulders of GSP”? Why would need to inform them of something they caught and took care of themselves in the moment. That doesn’t make any sense to me at all.

Leave it to Penn to start excuses(wether his camp claims they are or not.. they are!). GSP was toweled off when the vasoline was applied. Enough said.

Penn, you got owned, get over it. Your still a very talented fighter, you just need to stay at 155. This is making you look bad.

2 things:
1. Everyone BJ fights is a cheater for some reason – steroids, vaseline, (add convenient excuse here, win or lose), or a quitter.

BJ is a puss, a whiner and a loser who can’t handle the truth that he’s not the greatest of all time (like Dana White has been blowing up his hole for years).

2. THE NSAC WIPED GSP DOWN BEFORE HE WENT BACK IN FOR THE NEXT ROUND WHEN THEY SAW WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS AN INFRACTION. The state athletic commission inspector cleaned off GSP’s back before any vaseline on his back before it would ever have been a factor. If you read their comments, it says they saw it, they cleaned him and sent him out for the round- does BJ mean to suggest that GSP, the entire Jackson camp AND the state of Nevada were all in cahoots to screw him out of the title?

This whole thing is a tempest in a teapot. Typical BJ, and one more reason I won’t ever cheer for the rich, spoiled, mean-spirited attention vacuum.

In the first fight, BJ jammed his finger into GSP’s eyes. Afterward, GSP said he was seeing double and was really scared but he dug in, came up with another game plan, executed it, and won.

In this fight, BJ get dominated for 4 rounds. Gets torn up on his feet. Gets beat up on the ground, taken down at will, was controlled the whole fight and it is because of vaseline on the back?

Give me a break.

Ouch. Truth hurts, huh? BJ was foolish to move all up and down in weight classes anyway because every fighter knows that that messes up your metabolism and has long term effects on your performance. Just look at RJJ. He needs to quit his obsession on being the best P4P fighter in the world and wake up. This is especially true in MMA where difference in weight class can vary by 10 pounds as apposed to boxing where the difference between welterweight and junior welter is only about 5 pounds.

This whole argument is just ridiculous. Vaseline on GSP’s back?? Are these people serious Here’s a question…..let’s say you have to pick a spot on GSP’s body to put vaseline, and the objective is to pick a spot where the vaseline has the the lowest or smallest chance of touching BJ Penn, where would you choose??? GSP’s “back” is about the only part of his body that BJ never touched, or even saw for that matter………this was total and complete domination. This guys has made a total jackass out of himself, i can only hope that this new issue is more a creation of the media rather than from BJ.

I’m glad that BJ has finally been exposed as the most overrated fighter ever. The fact that this guy has even been considered in conversations around the best “pound for pound” fighter is a joke. What has BJ really done?? Yes, he’s flexible. he’s very flexible, probably more flexible than anyone else in the UFC, but what has it done for him, besides earning him a 13-5 record? Stephan Bonnar has a 13-5 record for christ’s sake. Who has BJ beaten that makes him so great Sean Sherk? Joe Stevenson? His nickname “The Prodigy” has proven the fact that effective Marketing can take you a long way. I know there are still a shitload of BJ fans out there…why i have no idea, but your boy has been exposed. KenFlo and Diego are both going to dominate BJ. I wonder if either of them are worried that BJ is preparing with UFC superstars like Troy Mandaloniz?? I wonder if BJ will be telling those guys to go to their room, lie in their bed for about 30 minutes, and then go “fvck themselves.”

sorry,it makes perfect sense man, what are you alking about??? The BACK is where Penns feet go while in gaurd and makes his usual rubbergaurd null, and attempt for a sub from the bottom null since his feet now have vas on them, and if Penn was to get GSP’s bck he would be morelikely to slip off or be reversed. Its not that complicated man, like they had to put it n a place that WOULD make contact with BJ like the knuckels or something, the BACK is the best place to put i in this fight, against a BJJ Ace like Penn. Not to mention Serra said the same thing after their fight, Kenflo saaid the samething after fighter Huerta, also in Jacksons camp huh. . .

ok, i understand you’re arguement and what you say makes sense….I only take issue with your statement “If Penn was to take GSP’s back” …….i guess my real point was that there wasn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that BJ was gonna take GSP’s back in this fight. In fact, nothing could have made a difference in the outcome. There’s only 1 way that BJ could have avoided what happened on Saturday, and that would have been to not show up. GSP was on a mission to destroy BJ, and BJ helped him out way too much by fueling his motivation.

I guess BJ and his camp look so terrible here that they’re not worried about doing further damage to their credibility. They need to shut up before they start losing more fans than they’ve already lost.

I love how Valentino (BJ’s trainer) is saying Penn couldn’t guard GSP because he was too slipperey. How convenient after the fact, might be more credible if they had raised the point during the fight. And in the same breath he says he’s not trying to tarnish the win. GSP passed the guard of a gassed BJ Penn (suprise suprise) and that’s all there is to it. If it is proven that he indeed made it out of his corner with grease, and that grease was indeed a significant factor in the fight then i’ll change my tune but as it stands now it’s just something convenient for BJ and his posse to cling to. A way of diminishing the fact that he got his ass handed to him by a superior fighter.

WoW! D.White is pretty serious abou this Vas thing . . .Wonder if it will go anywhere. At bjPenn . com you can see the footage of what happened in full, the corner man went from face to shoulders to chest to upperback, it was noticed by the nsac right away and i guess they are taking it pretty seriously as well as D.White, most likely outcom if any, Kru Phil Nurse will lose his lisense, not much more than that for all you "GSP cheater" hopefuls and "no contest" wanters… Doubtful.

The nsac even "went up there and started screaming at the cornermen and GSP, knocked the vas down and kicked it out of the octagon!" . . . No good, no?

And Jackson appologized to Valentino after the fight for the inncidnt . . .WHY do that if it was just a "ritual they do every fight"??? And "every fight" huh, wierd no one noticed it til now, proably cause its a first therfor making it NOT "a ritual" . . .
