After asking the NSAC to investigate the alleged greasing by the St. Pierre camp, Penn has filed an official complaint. He asks for quite a few things…but the highlights are listed below:

• Accuses that George ingested a substance that would cause his body to become highly and unnaturally slippery
• Phil Nurse, Greg Jackson, and the unknown parties are named as co-conspirators to St. Pierre’s alleged use of vaseline
• Penn is asking the commission to fine St. Pierre, Jackson, Nurse, and the unnamed parties up to $250,000.00
• To suspend Georges St. Pierre’s fighter license as well as the licenses of Jackson, Nurse, and the unnamed parties
• To change the result of the UFC 94 fight to a “no contest”
• Asks that St. Pierre take a pre-bout shower to make sure no substances exist on his body

Wow.

It was an unfortunate incident, and I believe there was an unintentional transfer of vaseline to St. Pierre, albeit a miniscule amount. However, that that point after the first round, the fighters were already drenched in sweat, and I do not believe the vaseline affected the outcome of the fight whatsoever. Not sure what Penn is trying to do here… Perhaps he had convinced himself so thorougly he could beat St. Pierre that he cannot accept a loss.
