UFC Penn files complaint after loss to St-Pierre

B.J Penn’s camp alleges Georges St-Pierre’s cornerman was applying Vaseline to his back in between rounds.

Throughout the fight, athletic commission executive director Keith Kizer would enter the cage and assess the actions of each fighter’s corner.

According to UFC President Dana White, the commission was “flipping out,” as they noticed one of St-Pierre’s cornermen rubbing Vaseline on his back in between rounds.

“The guys from the athletic commission went up there and started screaming at them. Knocked the Vaseline and kicked the Vaseline out of the Octagon,” White said. “Some Vaseline on a guy’s back didn’t change the outcome of that fight, but you don’t do it.”

While there is little chance of the decision being overturned, the corner person that committed the violation could face disciplinary action if he is found guilty.
