This content is protected Again, Im not saying it would have changed the outcome, but man this **** is just not kosher. Rubbing in the neck shoulders and upper back..forget any high or rubber guard positions. Forget gogo or chokes as well. Jackson said its a ritual but wow why not just touch GSPs crotch and not rub him this way, its weird and out of place
With an avatar pic like that, I'd stay away from starting threads about vaseline and guys rubbing others :yep
Looks like an accident to me. Forgot he had vaseline on his hands. It would have been a little bit anyway.
It does look out of sequence, I think pouring water on his head is first. I think what the complaint was is they were doing this over and over. For someone to notice and ***** and complain to officials, it was definitely not a 10 second gaffe, it went on. GSP seems like he doesnt know because if I recall, he was very comfy, confident and not even breathing hard in between rounds. Its just a stupid thing a corner would do.
Im pretty sure its only allowed on the face. Whatever the outcome is, the NSAC need to have a person in each corner to check whats going on in between rounds.
Non issue, total diversionary tactic by Penns camp. Here is the exact rule "2. The excessive use of grease or any other foreign substance may not be used on the face or body of an unarmed combatant. The referees or the Commission’s representative in charge shall cause any excessive grease or foreign substance to be removed." It was followed, to the letter, the commission removed what little grease may have made it. It is a non issue.
They have them, he wiped GSP with a towel. They check the fighters before the fight, they watch them in between rounds, and there are cameras on them at all times, if somebody believes they are just going to intentionally try and rub vasoline on a guy and get away with it they are nuts.
The problem is the grease between rounds 1 and 2 are the ones that didnt get wiped. The one after rd two got wiped because the official walked into the cage to do it himself
Thats because the official who gets paid to make it his entire purpose in life for 30 minutes to see if there is any illegal activity going on in the corner said there was no illegal activity going on in the corner. There is an entire system in place to deal with this, they oversaw every second, they casually wiped him down once, thats it.
