Blah....I hate this kind of shit. It's only gonna bring a negative note to the sport, should it actually hit a larger news source. That's the last thing the sport needs. If anything was amiss, blame the ref for not taking note of such things. It's his job to ensure both fighters are fighting on equal footing, and any blame should be his. I don't believe that a fighter of GSP's caliber needed any help nor that he would even welcome such an advantage. I wouldn't mind seeing the two square off again, but I'm tired of hearing about greased up fighters every time a huge name loses.
Boxing is like a handjob, and MMA is like a hot sweaty orgy with 5 chicks. I could never say no to a handjob, but which would you rather have?

NSAC Comments on Vaseline Controversy
So apparently NSAC admits SOMETHING happened, but not what exactly or to what extent. Penn hasn't filed the complaint yet. Either way, let it slide man....you lost. Train harder next time and earn a rematch.

I agree. For a fighter of GSP's caliber..no need to cheat. Sad thing is if it really did happened his corner may may have denied us to witness a classic and a much more competitive fight. BJ Penn is a worldclass BJJ practitioner for fukk's sake! the way GSP passed his guard..is just unheard of. Joe Rogan mentioned during the 2nd round that it's already tough for BJ to control GSP because he seems so slick and sweaty but who would have taught it's because of fukkin vaseline. You GSP fans know it ain't fair. If that was Thiago Alves under him it shouldn't matter significantly. Because he's a fukkin striker and is crap on his back.but BJ Penn..he is a friggin BJJ blackbelter!
An empty can is always noisy.

A couple of thoughts:
1.) In the first fight, BJ had much success in locking in those triangle locks from the bottom. They are huge part of what he does as a great ground fighter.
2.) GSP's corner men should all be fired. It would appear that St. Pierre could have won this fight regardless. But to have cornermen that do not know the rules 100% is grounds for immediate termination IMO.
3.) We may never know if perhaps BJ could have turned this fight into a fight if the vaseline wasn't hendering him.
It is for thougth #3 that I also think a rematch is in order...anyone heard anything about this situation of late?
