You Thought "Greasegate" Was Done?
Just when we thought we were getting a confirmation from BJ Penn that he was about done with Greasegate, we now have this nugget from his attorney:
“As an attorney, it’s about fact-finding,” he said. “As a commission member, as an executive director, you would think that his purpose is a fact-finding mission to obtain all the facts, all the evidence and to make an educated legal judgment upon the commission as to your determination. Do I feel he did that? Not at all.”
“We’re, by no means, done. We have the ability to exhaust administrative remedies and then take the matter into civil remedies as well,” he said. “This is something that B.J. believes in. This is something the Penns believe in. I think it’s something every fan of MMA and every fighter of MMA should take very seriously because it could happen to them.”
Like what facts are there to find? This whole thing is entirely subjective in that either you believe GSP and camp were intentionally or unintenionally using the vaseline. It's as simple as that. What are they going to do strap Greg Jackson and Phil Nurse down on a table and tap into their brain waves to see what they were really thinking at UFC 94? The fact that they are willing to take this into civil court just further legitimizes this as a full all out vendetta against GSP in my opinion.

when i see the hands with vaseline go from the face to the shoulders, from one to the next….it’s hard to think that there’s any place for that in a sport with so much grappling….against a guy who’s dangerous on the ground. they did what was not specifically forbade by the rules….besides, you can see chuck and frank mir nodding in agreement. i could care less what a bunch of commisioners who’ve probably never donned the gloves or grappled think happened….other pro fighters and their notion while sitting ringside proves far more telling to me personally.

So BJ goes from whining about losing the fight, and is now going to sue.. what a b*tch.
Live previews and reviews of all major fights!

I thought he had a case on the night..
..and that the case was made the next day,
When he filed his complaint, I thought it was weak, but okay..
Now the guy is just getting annoying. Defend your damn title and stop whining about the guy who kicked your ass up and down.
Frankly, you could have put GSP in a rashguard and slathered BJ in lube, he wouldn’t have won that fight. He was done before he even stepped into the Octagon.
If you see Mark Coleman in person, drop $5 on the floor and watch the fun as he tries in vain to bend down and pick it up.
