Matt Hughes: "My last two fights against Georges, he felt greasy"

UFC 94 happened this past Saturday, and although it didn't live up to the hype it was still a great night of fights. Georges St. Pierre completely dominated the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rounds of the much anticipated fight showing that he was the much stronger, and more improved fighter of the two. Towards the 3rd, and 4th round BJ looked completely helpless,and GSP was close to finishing the fight.

The fight was called after the 4th after BJ's corner threw in the towel. That should be the end of that right? Wrong! NSAC is investigating into the allegations that GSP's corner put Vaseline on his body making him greasy, giving him the advantage of being harder to submit.

But now another fighter is adding his opinion to the mix. Here is what Matt Hughes wrote on his website  about the incident:
"Now, on to what everybody is talking about, the greasing. I’m not the only one who has said that GSP felt greasy during a fight. I know Matt Serra has mentioned it and, even in their first fight, I think BJ said something. I’m not saying GSP did something wrong and I’m not saying that it would have changed any outcomes of any fights; but what I am saying is, for my last two fights against Georges, he felt greasy."

It's here that I would like to borrow another catch phrase from Brokenstyle..."What?"

It looks like grease gate is in full swing, and we can look forward to months of accusations and finger pointing on top of a heaping pile of denial. When did the Matt Hughes fights happen? Oh that's right, over a year ago. So why it's coming out now is a bit of a stretch.

Though I'm sure St. Pierre will be made out to be the bad guy in this, the point is he's just the better fighter. Do I think he should have an unfair advantage?

Of course not.

But we have all seen the UFC behind the scenes training of GSP, and a guy that works that hard is unlikely to find a way to cheat. I don't think a bit of vaseline made Matt Hughes yell, "Tap,Tap" or BJ Penn's corner "Throw In The Towel." So let's be aware of this but let it go and look forward to Thiago Alves V. Georges St. Pierre, or BJ Penn V. Kenny Florian. That's the future, and the past is past.
