Found February 08, 2009 on Hung Lo Dojo:
The UFC has a new set of rules and you can literally "Blame Canada" for that one. After the GSP grease me up scotty shenanigans, the UFC has a new policy regarding cut men, corners, and how they go about their business in between rounds...

  • good!that way we not gone have to see somebody else using this stupid excuse!!!!(if at least the fight was close)i do feel sorry for bj
  • When you are a loser... you look for excuses. That's exactly what Penn is doing. BJ got SCHOOLED by GSP... They can fight 10 times in a row and GSP will win 10 times.
    Like Joe Rogan said "The great big man, will always beat the great small man"
    GSP is simply too strong and too skilled for Penn
  • I don't think GPD is too skilled but stronger yes. I think penn would have not been dominated so much had GSP not been greased.
  • its not too bad of a rule and if a person needs "inspiration" ..he can hear it through the cage..
  • I don't even know if they really have to change the rule. After putting grease on a persons face which really is a cut issue more than anything you cannot touch ny othe part of his body. No big deal here and not hard to understand. If you do then you discredit your corner. The end result ill be a good fighter getting questioned. It doesn't matter who the fighters were.
  • Do you *** remember when GSP lost to loser Matt S.
  • yes cause we can literally blame Canada cause you know, GSP is the only fighter of whom has had these allegations. Uh or are we forgetting about Rashad Evans and Roger Huerta??
  • I doubt that Rashad's slipperiness in avoiding Liddell was due to being greased, but I do see Chuckie wanting to comfort himself and believe it, And what . . . was Georges not smart enough to grease the first time he met Serra or Matt Hughes? In the world of crime you always look first to see "who bebefits" and now I guess that GSP was only greased when he won. Shame on anyone--Serra, Hughes, Mayhem Miller--who would suggest that!
  • i don't hink Jackson has enough conidence in his fighters. Either that or he is just trying to build up his own rep by making sure his fighters win more. Either way it doesn't matter. They are cheating and the UFC is right to put in these rules. Auto DQ is what I think should be happening.
  • Let's Auto DQ any fighters that use Vaseline anywhere on there body and that would mean all the fighters winners or losers, because once they clinch or grapple on the ground Vaseline will transfer everywhere. Unless you have proof they cheated before like video evidence then you need to stop with the they are cheating crap, this is the only one fight and it is still debatable if they did anything wrong intentionally of unintentionally thanks to the unstoppable crying from Penn.
  • Mike I see you have never been in competition so I guess enough said.
  • blitzmma "I see you have never been in competition so I guess enough said" is that the best you brain can come up with. Why do I have to be in a competition before I can state a well educated opinion? Does the truth I write hurt you so much? or does the truth make Penn human and not a god among his many brain dead followers?
  • Wow!, the author of this article must be american? i cant believe they used the title blame canada. The only reason this happened was because bj, is a big cry baby, and the fighters that so happen to be kicking ace in the ufc are from jacksons camp. HMM let me see, did evans have vaseline on his hands too, when he knocked chucks head off. Just a little thing that i found interesting was last night i just happened to be watching ufc unleashed and saw the match between loiseau and charles mcarthy and mcarthys corner man but vaseline on his face then wipped more vaseline in his black spiked hair, he looked like one the gotti brothers.....i didnt see that in the article.
  • the author may have been american, who knows? nonetheless, the "blame canada" reference was a link to the hit song of the same name from the southpark movie. did you guys above the border miss the reference? you can't possibly think we should blame all of canada for the new UFC rules, because a little vasoline doesn't begin to compare to all the damage terrence and phillip did with their "asses of fire" cartoon.
  • blitzmma and YardBarkerSuxx, that right there says it all. Only they will agree with this STUPID one sided article from a obviously Penn Nutthugger and Canada hater trying to pretend to be journalist but really showing his true colors. This is for YardBarkerSuxx, if Jackson camp is so full cheaters and any self respecting MMA fighters should avoid them. Then why is there so many more MMA fighters joining there's and GSP team in Canada? When your successful in life there will always be people out there wanting to pull you down to there unsuccessful level.
  • The last line in your comment mike88888, was spot on!! HERE HERE!!
  • Wow Mike you are so off base it's amazing. I could really care less who won or lost in that fight. I'm more concerned with what the rules are. I am from Canada so that part doesn't work either. I only state the Jackson camp has been accused of this before and someone should take a closer look at it. I'm not out to get anyone, if you were more open to understaning that rules are there for a reason and if you had experience in this area you would understand. GSP is talented and woudl have won anyway unless Penn was lucky enough to be able to grab an arm and submit him when he was on the ground getting beat to a pulp. I think my point actually makes sense and yes if you are breaking the rules then a DQ is what should happen. If your to stuck on one side or the other then that's your problem but don't say I am for making a point when one side breaks the rules.
  • FIrst blitzmma, my statement was not about you hating Canada or being one sided mindless follower. My statement is that the writer of the article was one sided and a Canada hater but you and YardMarkerSuxx would agree with him base on his one sided opinion of GSP and that is fact based on your postings. If you wanted to DQ anyone you have to show intent of breaking the rules on the part of the person, if the rules states clearly no Vaseline on any part of the body other then the face then you can argue that but at the time the rules only state excessvise amount can not be applied. In this case you can clearly see Nurse not intentionally apply Vaseline on GSP back it was done unintentionally after applying it on GSP face first, the only mistake Nurse did here was not wiping his fingers off first. I understand if they did this before and was confronted with it but why wait until now? The officials, fighters and Dana White could have brought this up each and every time they did the back and chest rub why not then but now, I will tell you why its because of Penn who is crying now because he has never been beaten so badly before if it was GSP saying something about it you really think they will do anything about it I would say no. I still laugh at what the official did when it happen running into the cage like if GSP put on brass knuckles during the fight and was going to crack Penn's head wide open, my god it was just the residual left over from the face and then unintentionally applied to the middle back of GSP then it was wiped clean after every round. You can argue there was Vaseline unintentionally applied but you can not argue it was more then residual amount that is fact based on video evidence.
  • GSP Pounded Penn, If you watched the fight like Dana said the Vasoline wasnt a factor. Plain and simple he got beat and now he is looking for a excuse. Now when Kenny florian pounds him he can say some one put something in his water. Penn has a big mouth and it got closed by GSP. Penn talked alot of crap and got his butt kicked. even his corner man knew it, he is a quit-er and i laugh hard at him and i bet every one else does too. go to BJPENN.com so you can listen to his excuses. I am trying to figure out who Penn beat that was any good? Matt hughes,Stevenson,pulver wow what a list. Now look at who GSP beat theres a big diffrence. BJ Penn you should retire, or is you really want to do something special fight Faber so he can kick the crap out of you too!!!
  • All the GSP lovers like his gay nut hugger shorts, come on dude wear the trunks
  • Like I said in my early post people seriously need to get over it the them fight again and the truth will be told honestly I believe that GSP will dominate Penn again before the whole vaseline thing he was whoopin ass so my opinion vaseline or not Penn was gunna lose that fight.

    oh and Tanker69 what does GSP "nut hugger shorts" have to do with anything? if you look at his pictures you will see he does where trunks in his training and stuff but honestly maybe he feels that the trunks hold him back during his fights. What does it matter anyway what he wears, its personal preference.
