    I think Rashad turned the fight down because it was too soon... I think they wanted it to be in March.

    The disclosed fighter payroll for the event is $1,057,000 but that does not include salary figures for Christian Wellisch and Jake O’Brien, which were not immediately available. The listed total also does not include the “Fight Night” bonsues that were incorporated into the total payouts for Howard, Wilson, Machida, Guida, and Diaz.

    Las Vegas - During Saturday’s UFC 94 main event that featured UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre defending his title against UFC lightweight champion B.J. Penn, Nevada State Athletic Commission Executive Director Keith Kizer could be seen entering the cage between rounds.

     

    Kizer approached the corner for St. Pierre and the two parties exchanged words. At the time, the nature of the conversation was unclear but the blog CagePotato.com is now reporting that Penn’s camp has filed a formal complaint with NSAC.

     

    According to Cage Potato, Penn’s camp has accused one of St. Pierre’s cornermen of applying Vaseline to St. Pierre’s back between rounds. It’s an accusation that was supported by UFC President Dana White during the event’s post-fight press conference.

     

    “I saw the commission jump up there and flipping out,” Cage Potato quotes White as saying. “They said one of the guys was rubbing Vaseline on Georges’ back in between rounds. It was one and two, I think.

     

    “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.”

     

    Regardless of what the commission decides, it’s very unlikely that NSAC would rule to change the outcome of the fight. At most, if a corner person is determined to have committed the alleged act, he could face displinary action on an individual basis.

     

    “Some Vaseline on a guy’s back didn’t change the outcome of that fight, but you don’t do it,” White stated.

    Just woke up - still hard to believe BJ shit the bed like that. I was worried about the size, I have to admit, but I thought he'd overcome it.

     

    I have a bad feeling Curry might be right. That's the kind of beatdown that makes a fighter question everything.

     

    I have work today and then I'm going straight to a Super Bowl party so I won't be around to make the picture selection.

     

    I nominate Lord of the Curry to pick out the winning picture. The following people need to have this in their sig within 24 hours after LoTC posts it.

    I don't know what kind of bullshit you're trying to play but you're on the losing team.

     

    Suspensions will be issued to whoever doesn't comply.
