If not why did the Executive Director of the NSAC say that what happened was against there rules here is a cut and paste from mma weekly.
The perceptions may vary, but the executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission – the sanctioning body that maintains authority over UFC 94 – confirmed to MMAWeekly.com on Monday that there is an issue at hand that is based in fact.
"After the first round ended, the fighters are getting ready for round two. One inspector noticed a (St. Pierre) cornerman, Phil Nurse, putting Vaseline on George's face, then kind of rubbed him down a bit, which would be okay if he was clean," asserted Keith Kizer.
Such an impropriety immediately raised red flags and put him on full alert, especially with this mega-fight occurring just one week after another wave of doctoring controversy had crashed over the Antonio Margarito vs. Shane Mosely boxing match in California. Margarito was suspended and ordered to attend a hearing due to a foreign substance found in his hand wraps on the night of the fight.
"After round two, I watched him like a hawk," said Kizer. "I've only entered the ring maybe three or four times (in my career) during a fight, but I did this time.
Watching the pay-per-view, Nurse is clearly seen on camera applying Vaseline to the face of St. Pierre following round one. It is difficult to tell the amount of residual Vaseline on his hands, but he does clearly rub St. Pierre's shoulders and then reach around to touch his upper back. The extent to which such actions affected the actual in-ring action are unclear, but what is clear is that such action was a violation Nevada's regulations.
I agree with you that they "said" it was a violation, I agree that a lot of "fans" are "saying" it's a violation, but here are the RULES, STRAIGHT from the Nevada Athletic Commission, a government entity, are you going to dispute those too?
