I realise that this is a few weeks late, but I needed some time to collect my thoughts on this topic. Lets start from the beginning.

The event: UFC 94: Georges St. Pierre vs. BJ Penn, 5 rounds for the Welterweight Title. St. Pierre completely crushes Penn up to the 4th when Penn's corner has the Doctor stop the fight. A day later the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) files a complaint that St. Pierre's cornermen applied vaseline to his shoulders and back. UFC President Dana White even came out and stated that he saw this happen(and without dropping a F-Bomb too). Now as of me writing this no word has been released about what happens with the outcome of the fight, but the NSAC has changed some rules only allowing 1 trainer in the cage between rounds. If this does hold true then the fight would more then likely be ruled a "No Contest".

Now for my thoughts on the matter. I've seen the video of the greasing. GSP's Cornerman applies the vasoline to his face then begins to rub his shoulders and back. What happens after that is some Athletic Officials come over and wipe of the areas. After seeing the videos I don't feel that anything was done on purpose. I don't think any of that would have made a difference. GSP is just naturally more stronger then BJ Penn. He would've just been able to muscle his way out of Penn's guard anyway. What time that was spent on the ground, GSP was in side control using ground and pound on Penn.

I think that St. Pierre is getting unfair criticism on the subject. I've seen some websites calling his victory an "asterisk victory". That is just wrong. St. Pierre is not at fault for any wrong doing that may or may not have taken place. For any other funny business look no further then the influx of fighters that have come out since the scandal claiming that St. Pierre was greased during their fights. Matt Hughes, Jason "Mayhem" Miller, and Matt Serra just to name a few. If Matt Hughes is going to use this as an excuse for his slump, then everyone who has beat him recently must've been greasing. If you saw the Matt Serra rematch then you would know that the only time that fight went to ground was when St. Pierre was savaging him with knees to the side of his body.

I pose this question to you: If there was a problem, then why did these guys wait(for some of them a year or 2) until now to complain?

Excuses, I think. Excuses for being crushed for the new Pound for Pound king, Georges St. Pierre.
