Is this gif proof of Machida's greasing ?

  1. 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 shall cause any excessive grease or foreign substance to be removed.
If BJ Penn was "never" gonna submit GSP, why bother rubbing the vaseline over that area at all? like I said, the rest of the world may have known BJ stood no chance, but clearly GSP's corner weren't so confident. BJ isn't known for intelligent gameplans anyway is he? :)
If you have oily skin there is no foreign substance. Awesome job completely missing the point.

They didn't rub it there. They rubbed it on his face, and then did a relaxation technique forgetting to wipe his hands clean. It's the UFC's fault for not having someone at the event to do it and making Nurse do both.

so what you're saying is, they only wiped it on his face ... plus shoulders and neck :D

are you really saying GSP ate madras curries or something to get his body slick? do you realise how much worse that makes GSP look? and it certainly didn't help when BJ Penn warned ringside officials about GSP's camp trying to apply vaseline illegally, BEFORE the fight, only for GSP's corner to do just that between rounds.

It's pretty clear watching the fight they rubbed it on his face as they should. He then did a relaxation technique GSP and other fighters used many times before. He did not wipe his hands off. He should have. More importantly the UFC should not have the same guy doing both.

Actually the only thing I know about BJ making claims was claiming he ate something to make himself oily. Perfectly legal if it's true, which there is no evidence of.
 
take another look. that is the same Machida as always?!? (at MW against Rockhold)

This is at 205 vs either hendo or Davis. You can tell by the shorts.
