UFC 94 greasing controversy prompts UFC officials to consider new corner rules

how about not allowing anyone inside the octogan? let the fighters hear from the outside and not get repaired…more blood.

Fucking Phil Nurse.

I HOPE GSP gets FINED and BANNED FRO LIFE as WILL MARGARITTO FOR IMPROPER HAND RAPS

A third fight will be about as exciting as Serra and Hughes.

I think its a great idea to have a UFC appointed cutman in each corner and only one trainer/cornerman in the ring between rounds.So I guess something good came of this afterall!

honsetly im very irrritated to that corner man of GSP Phil Nurse even before this greasy thing issue, i dont know why… and now i have a valid reason to hate him more…

NSAC is so slow. Just give us the report and it’ll be over with.

As for fight no.3, it’s not happening. Nobody wants it, including Dana, GSP and Penn. Why?

- DANA DOESN’T WANT IT BECAUSE: he has bigger plans for GSP. GSP is the most marketable MMA fighter for the non MMA public. GSP is the fighter Dana needs to make UFC mainstream and turn “area men and women” into MMA fans. Another fight with Penn wouldn’t be an efficient use of the GSP diamond.

- GSP DOESN’T WANT IT BECAUSE: he has already lost enough time showing how weak Penn is. He has bigger fish to fry (Alves, maybe Silva, maybe a move at 185, etc.). If the UFC forces him to fight Penn again, he’ll do it. But everybody (including Dana, GSP and Penn) knows he’ll just trounce BJ once more.

- BJ PENN DOESN’T WANT IT BECAUSE: he knows he’s going to get killed. He took GSP’s joke (rash guards) challenge because he knows Dana won’t let it happen. Penn knows he has no chance, but knowing it won’t happen, he can pretend he wants it. Typical BJ, all talk, no walk.

I actually think Penn does want this fight. He can get a big payday for it and save some face losing to GSP more than the face he will lose when he loses the 155 belt to Florian. BJ and Dana have tried everything to keep Florian away from his titel shot for the last year +.

I think people would be interested to see pierre move down to 155. He could do it, it’s possible. Some guys cut to 155 from 180. It’s annoying that Penn always has to go into Pierre’s world and then everyone says Pierre is better.

how does rubbing vaseline on your chest back and shoulders help with your breathing? i think GSP messed up by sayin this aint the first time they did this. i lost a lil bit love for GSP

BJ should just shut the fuck up then and stay in his own weight class. He does not have to go up into GSPs world, he wants to AND GSP IS A WAY BETTER FIGHTER. GSP does not make the fights and did not ask BJ to move up. BJ did the same thing against Matt Hughes, he just thinks he can beat anyone and when he doesnt he makes excuses and whines. Matt even said BJ was disrespecting him by moving out of his division to fight him. Dude GSP is shredded at 180, there is no way he could cut that much weight and if he did he would beat BJ like a RENTED MULE AGAIN 3RD TIMES A CHARM.

I agree, it was close fight and I think the Vaseline was the differance……………..LMAO LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!! He needs to get away from Greg Jackson is what he needs to do, the guy is a wierdo. Maybe thats why a good portion of his fighters win all the time, maybe Gregs little Vaseline trick is why he is so popular and why he is so highly regarded in the sport, for having such great game plans. Maybe watch all of Gregs fighters and see what happens, maybe Jackson is the one that needs to be looked at here. If his fighters win he makes more money, more people want him to train them, maybe Jackson is the cheater here. Maybe its been so subtle that nobody has noticed till this point. YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW, ALL I DO KNOW IS THAT GSP DOES NOT CHEAT AND BJ GOT HIS ASS KICKED AGAIN!!!!!

i watched this thing on mmanews last night i was just wonderin about it but that makes sense thanks and jay f*ckoff nuthugger

Dear BJ,

STFU, GTFO, and FOAD.

YTF,

TI

BJ vs KenFlo and GSP vs Alves for UFC 100 would be nice, but BJ’s last LW defense was May 24th 2008. No champion should go 12 months without defending. BJ should lose his belt if he doesn’t defend before May 24th 2009.

Let Penn make all the excuses, same result for the third fight though, HE WILL GET MAULED AGAIn. I now even doubt if he will beat Florian.

What every one seems to be missing here is the actual rules of NSAC. It states that no excessive amount of lubricant can be applied to an un armed combatants body or face, penns camp doesn’t have a leg to stand on, nurse did nothing wrong according to those rules, other than give penn some lame excuse and stir up controversy. The new rule should have been clear a lone time ago, I wish nurse never did what he did but I don’t think it was intentional, nobodies that stupid to do that with all the camera’s on him.

The thing that sucks about it is now penn has his foot in the door of doubt he’s trying to say somehow it was a disadvantage and rendered his bjj ineffective. This is completely ridiculous he’s one of the best black belts in the world and blood, sweat, grease from the face transfer can get on a body and he’s completely ineffective?, thats crazy. What about his fight will stevenson the guy was covered with slippery blood and he had no problem there. They wiped gsp down after rounds two and three, even wiping off sweat which would aid gsp, and penn did WORSE after this, he has no arguement, what about the stand up? What is his excuse there? I hope the NSAC makes some statement soon as well as the ufc to clear this up, so gsp’s reputation isn’t tarnished.

IMO GSP has way more other important opponents to face at this point. And Penn does too for that matter! BJ got whooped by GSP, well guess what, thats what usually happens when you fight a bigger (and in my opinion better) fighter. Suck it up and take it like a man – that does not mean I feel that GSP (more likely his corner though) should go unpunished. Rules are rules.

My biggest concern at this point is when are we gonna see GSP vs AS!!! I wanted to see it at UFC 100 but there is now way thats going to happen.

TAINTED

Guys,

I heard a rumor that with every purchase of a Silver Star T shirt you get a free tube of Vaseline.

Their is one good that came of all this thing. BJ Penn won’t retire now. In his head he can pretend that I should of one this fight. This should keep him fighting a little bit longer and maybe one day if Bj is lucky, GSP will get another chance to destroy BJ’s insecure ego.

The bottom line is, when you put Vaseline on two fighters faces and they start grappling for 15 minutes, I’m pretty sure vaseline gets everywhere.
From what I saw GSP rubbed his chest, shoulders and arms all over BJ face which was covered in Vaseline.
I think the real question is, should the UFC ban all slippery substances from entering the ring.
Does anyone know if BJ actually admitted that George is a better fighter?

hahaha lets just have a huge brawl with gsp supporters on one side and penn supporters on the other. no vaseline allowed obviously. yeah i know im retarded hahaha

PENN WILL HAVE A HEART ATTACK FROM HIS LAZINESS AND FAT LEVELS SOON ANYWAY. THERE WILL BE NO RE-MATCH.

My man Bj got his ass handed to him, and I got to eat humble pie. Though I love BJ, I’m sure the outcome would’ve been the same. Maybe worth a mention, Ken-Flo did say that Huerta felt kinda slippery, and Huerta is also from Greg’s camp. That’s my two scents.

I suppose it’s way too much to ask that this whole fucking topic to just go away!!! Enough already for christ’s sake. Here’s what we know:

1. Regardless of the amount of vaseline, or the effect it had on the fight, we all know that it wouldn’t have changed the outcome. GSP still wins that fight regardless.
2. GSP is certainly a consideration for best P4P in MMA
3. BJ has been exposed, showing that he’s overrated, he’s a spoiled brat, and he looks like a punk for all the shit he talked.
4. Having said that, BJ still has an opportunity to reign the 155 division. He needs to focus on the LW Division, as there is stiff competition and his next fight should be against Florian. Kenflo deserves it.
5. GSP should fight Alves next, no questions asked. He has earned his chance, and he stands alone as the #1 contender.

Enough with all the GSP/Penn III talk. Everyone needs to move on, this is really tarnishing what should be considered a very successful, exciting event in the UFC.

This whole issue is a bunch of bull$#it, and in my opinion, it’s a very pathetic attempt by BJ Penn and his people to distract us from how unprepared Penn was for the rematch with GSP so we don’t say how he is to blame for being beaten like a rookie in his first fight.

BJ Penn didn’t live up to what was expected of him for that fight – both from a fan’s viewpoint and also from a professional standard that the UFC should expect from one of their division title holders.

It should have been obvious to anyone who watched the three UFC Primetime episodes that BJ Penn wasn’t physically or mentally prepared to be part of a main event championship fight (hyped as the “biggest fight in MMA history”) – but if it wasn’t clear to everyone then they should have known by the time BJ gassed out after the first round and GSP gave him an even more brutal beating than he did to Matt Hughes in the 2nd & 3rd fights they had.

I knew BJ would lose long before the UFC Primetime episodes from his long history that shows he’s a scumbag poser who has no dignity, no honor, and no heart – and that MMA and the UFC are much better off without him.

Look at how he disrespected the sport & the UFC by quitting immediately after winning that title belt years ago. That was a cowardly thing to do rather than man up to honor the contract he signed and at least defend the title one time and let someone try to win the belt. It’s a bitch move to quit like he did… and there’s no honor for the next one to get that title since they didn’t win it.

It was the same way when BJ got that belt he still holds by winning a fight chosen by the UFC committee when Shawn Sherk was stripped of the title for failing a drug screen.

Look at how BJ dishonored the title, the UFC, and himself by the comments he made about Sherk… then saying it was just to hype the fight – rather than how he felt about Sherk. You can’t insult someone like he did & then say “I didn’t mean it… just kidding… no hard feelings, right?” after the fight is over.

I figured BJ would look for some excuse to tell people why he lost… but what he tried to use at the reason is totally ridiculous, not to mention easily disproven.

If you look at the video – there is no way Penn can say GSP had excessive vaseline in places prohibited by the rules, or that whatever amount of vaseline that was on GSP caused GSP to have an unfair advantage over BJ in any way at all.

After the first round the camera is very close to GSP’s cornerman who had the vaseline – and you can clearly see that the stuff was on the back of his left hand (and not very much of it because you can’t tell it’s there until you see him use his right hand fingers to DAB some to apply to GSP’s eyebrow area, his chin, and then finally a quick pat on GSP’s chest and then his back.

IF any vaseline was still on his fingers by the time he got to the chest & back area, it couldn’t be much at all… BUT, you see an official (those annoying people with the maroon suit jackets who seem to get in the way more than help out or do something constructive) not more than 2 or 3 feet away closely watching what happened durring the break in action.

SO… if anything not allowed by the rules was placed on GSP’s body on purpose – the official took the necessary steps to prevent anything wrong/improper to happen that would unfairly effect the result of the fight.

After the second round ends you can clearly see that same official get all up close to GSP’s people (even closer than normal, which is too close and very creepy if you ask me) and he kept close watch on what happened – and the official is seen taking a towel & wiping down GSP’s back & chest. The camera isn’t on them the entire time this happened, but there was at least 10 – 15 seconds before Herb Dean allowed the next round to begin. To me, this means that the official did what he felt was enough to prevent GSP’s people from getting away with a rule violation – and I seriously doubt the official would take the time to get a towel & wipe down GSP but not do a complete job of removing anything that might be a violation of the rules.

When the third round ended the same official was in GSP’s corner doing his job, but there was also a second official with him, and before the next round could begin the one wiped down GSP with a towel as the other was so close to the first they could have been conjoined twins… and they took the time to make sure GSP was wiped down and not “greased up”, or soaked from sweat or water/ice.

So… if the first official had an issue over the vaseline, there was a second official present watching for any potential rule violations – to the point they actively intervened and made sure that whatever efforts GSP’s people might have done to remove any excess water/vaseline/random materials from GSP’s body so that nothing caused one fighter to have an unfair advantage over the other.

As if Herb Dean would have missed something like that when he routinely monitors what happens durring the rounds… excessive vaseline in those places would on the same level as a punch to the back of the head, a low blow, kicking a downed opponent, or any other violation of the rules… Herb Dean gets paid to notice something like that – so him not stepping in to correct things means nothing improper happened.

Herb Dean did his job, and the official assigned to GSP’s corner not only did his job – he went above & beyond the normal vigilance to make double sure everything was cool on his part.

It’s his job, and that guy had thousands of spectators watching him, and dozens of cameras filming whatever he does or doesn’t do, in addition to many other officials doing the same job of enforcing the NSAC rules so all the angles are covered – not to mention that Dana White & Joe Silva are at ringside keeping an eye & ear on everything going down.

Dana White was the driving force that took MMA from the brutal bloodsport that politicians tried to ban and made it into a legitimate sport respected worldwide that is a multi-million dollar industry that has made people forget what a boxing match is and outselling the top concerts wherever the UFC goes.

Dana White put the UFC at the top of the MMA mountain, and by doing that he put MMA at the top of both the sports & entertainment industries.

If Dana White was so stupid that he would not catch such a huge violation of the rules durring the biggest hyped fight in the History of not only his organization, but all of MMA – then he never would have accomplished the things he did to put the UFC & MMA where it is today.

Not only that, but if he allowed something like that to happen in the biggest fight ever, he would deserve to be fired from his job for gross incompetence!!

Look at how Dana went off after the EliteXC scandal when word got out of the organization basically trying to fix the result of a main event fight by paying a fighter to do what they felt would surely cause him to lose the fight.

Dana White was calling for the company to be investigated for criminal behavior… and I’m sure that could be called the final nail in the coffin that caused the company owning EliteXC to go bankrupt.

Even if what Dana said back then, or tried to do had zero effect on the final ending of a competitor fight organization… how bad would he look if not even a year later he allowed something as bad (if not worse) to happen at an event under his command???

But I’m getting off track here… back to the main points:

So, we have many cameras filming what might or might not have happened by GSP’s people, a competent official on hand monitoring the action, several other officials doing their jobs to support the integrity of the rules, and an organization that has people running the show who let nothing get by them – all of this to prevent some serious violation from happening – not to mention a full capacity crowd who would have went nuts if they saw something like that happen when they paid good money to see the event… but never mind all of that – there’s even more to say BJ Penn is full of shit when he accused GSP of breaking the rules.

Besides all of the things I mentioned, there was Herb Dean right there in the octagon – and everyone knows how respected Herb Dean is in the MMA world – and how people say he is the best because not only is he referee, but he is also an MMA competitor… so he has a unique perspective that helps him enforce the rules & protect the fighters.

So, if you believe BJ Penn and his people – that means Dana White & Joe Silva were on hand clueless as several officials, three fight judges, an experienced fight referee with MMA fight experience, several cameramen, thousands of spectators, and two “cut men” either willingly let GSP’s people violate the rules to his advantage – or they all were so incompetent they didn’t know what GSP’s people were up to… not to mention that this allegedly happened without BJ’s people (or BJ himself) saying one word about how “overly slippery” GSP allegedly was while BJ was getting the crap beat out of him three rounds after he gassed out.

Ok, so anyone at the event or watching the video could see certain events that were not intentional or pre-planned by any means that are now being twisted into what can only be described as either a huge case of mass incompetence by several people who’s job it was that night to prevent any rule violations… or all of these people conspired against BJ Penn by helping GSP break the rules to beat BJ.

It’s that’s simple – BJ Penn is saying that either several people totally failed at doing their job that night – or they all were part of a conspiracy designed to make sure GSP won the fight… there’s no other reason to explain what BJ claims GSP got away with when the rules clearly define what is ok & not ok regarding vaseline and its use for a fight.

BJ can cry all he wants on his website… but the fact is neither he or his corner said one word about GSP being so slippery while the fight was happening.

Not one word was said just after the fight, when BJ could have said something to Joe Rogan in the octagon, or to the reporters doing the post-fight interviews, or at the post-fight press conference with everyone listening.

It was only later – after much time took think of many excuses before finally coming up with the false accusation do we see what BJ Penn is all about.

Not only does BJ Penn insult GSP & his people by this pathetic scam… it is an insult to the integrity of the officials, Herb Dean, the UFC, and the fans.

BJ Penn lowered himself by not taking blame for his loss… but by doing that he has forever tarnished GSP’s amazing win, and nothing will make things right for GSP and what he earned that night by beating BJ.

And something just as pathetic was how that other d-bag, Matt Hughes, jumped to BJ’s defense by also claiming GSP broke the rules in the same way when Matt Hughes took two brutal ass-kickings from GSP.

If it was true, why didn’t Matt say something after that 2nd fight? Why did he use the pathetic excuse of supposedly having an injury to explain losing the first rematch – but not say anything about a slippery GSP?

And if it happened again for the third fight… why didn’t Matt say so rather than praise GSP in the octagon to Joe Rogan?

Matt Hughes used up his 15 minutes in that 2nd GSP fight, and it’s sad to see what he will stoop to just for another minute in the spotlight when nobody cares about him anymore.

Both BJ Penn & Matt Hughes need to apologize to GSP, his cornermen, the UFC, fight officials/staff, and all of us MMA fans for being total d-bags… and then they need to do us a favor & just go away.

This whole issue is a bunch of bull$#it, and in my opinion, it’s a very pathetic attempt by BJ Penn and his people to distract us from how unprepared Penn was for the rematch with GSP so we don’t say how he is to blame for being beaten like a rookie in his first fight.

Man I just watched the fight again an find the whole vasoline thing halarious, georges sweat was more of a factor which was rubbed off his back after rounds 2 and 3. Penn fans get over it, penn got his ass kicked in every way, he only impressed me with his take down defense in round one and his sweep in round three, a third fight would just be stupid.

  Gsp lost to serra, serra was the better fighter that night period, but everyone knows who the better fighter is, the longer a fight goes it just gets more obvious than a quick ko. The gsp/alves fight will be very interesting to see, to be honest though it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if gsp steam rolled alves too, gsp doesn’t fight the other fighters fight.

  If he just boxed and played bjj with penn there might have been a different outcome just like if he just kick boxes with alves. Gsp will most likely have a brillant game plan for alves and catch him off guard and look to expose his weakness’s. Gsp’s top control and ability to pass guard is incredible and he seems to be improving, in a year or so I could see him being a serious threat to the middle weight crown, well see.

F**king phil nurse ………..why!!!!!!!

what a messed.. for sure third fight coming up, i think if Penn win in the third fight,he got his inspiration for Rampage coz despite of 2 brutal lost to Silva,rampage still redeem himself in the 3rd fight, but if Penn lost in the third fight maybe he’s hero is Ken Shamrock. lol

If BJ knew GSP was greased then he shouldn’t have let him take him down and pound on him. GSP didn’t cry about BJ’s inadvertent eye gouge in their first fight which made the fight much closer than it otherwise would have been. He saw two BJs so he took them both down and LNP’d a SD out.

If they fought 15 more times GSP would kill penn 15 more times. I cant belive iam hearing this. Yea.. the vasoline was the reason bj QUIT and couldnt fight the last round. GSP best pound 4 pound out there!!!

“BJ can cry all he wants on his website… but the fact is neither he or his corner said one word about GSP being so slippery while the fight was happening.”

funny thing to reply to that is that THEY DID COMPLAIN BEFORE THE MATACh and DURING the match.

Bobb Sapp looked real bad saying he got punched in the eye.
