this is what BJ said about the greasing:

To the untrained eye the grease might not look like much, but every grappler knows the effect that it has. Being able to apply your submissions and sweeps or just being able to hold on to your opponent to defend yourself from being hit is absolutely critical! There is a reason why you are not allowed to put grease anywhere on your body except for the area around your eyes. Because of the grease applied to St.Pierre’s Body the Nevada State Athletic Commission’s executive director, Keith Kizer has stated that the Penn-St. Pierre fight “definitely wasn’t fair.”

Oh no! How is GSP ever going to win now?

GSP can win through hard work and improving technique, like he's supposedly been doing. There's nothing wrong with that; after all, despite the greasing, he was hanlding fairly easy standing up without even clinching. The guy's good, but I am happy to see that they've implemented rules now to make it completely fair for everyone.

Edit: We'll know for sure GSP's been greasing is when he fight's Thiago he has trouble getting out of submissions or can't get takedowns as easily....
