Georges St. Pierre is growing tired of the same old BJ Penn accusations about the Vaseline incident, he is tired of being respectful and BJ not:
We’re gonna do it this summer, St. Pierre/Penn III and this time we will wear a rash guard. I guarantee to you the result will be the same…I’m not afraid to fight him again…I’ve been respectful the whole time and he disrespects me like this…I’m tired of his comment about me.

Less than 24 hours before the Super Bowl kicked off in Tampa, Pierre and Penn was plastered all over the front of ESPN’s Web site, arguably America’s top home page for sports fans.
After his dominating victory, St. Pierre was 30 minutes late to the postfight press conference so he could do an interview on “SportsCenter.”

Since UFC 94 there has been a looming controversy over Georges St. Pierre intentionally having Vaseline on his back to help avoid the takedowns of BJ Penn. Today, the legal team for BJ Penn officially sent a formal request to investigate Georges St. Pierre at UFC 94 to the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
“I know I lost the decision in the minds of the judges but I really felt I was whooping his ass the whole fight and he was just holding me. Before the fight people were asking me about his pace and if I would be able to keep up with it. I felt he couldn’t keep up with my pace and that’s why he was trying to slow things down by holding on and not trying anything. I even gave him my back so he would try to do something besides hugging me. A couple of times I looked at the ref to ask him if he wanted us to fight or what? Sorry I didn’t listen to my corner and stand with him more but I never thought he would be so happy to just stall like that.”

Matt Hughes has made the following statement on his official blog:
“I’m not the only one who has said that GSP felt greasy during a fight. I know Matt Serra has mentioned it and, even in their first fight, I think BJ said something. I’m not saying GSP did something wrong and I’m not saying that it would have changed any outcomes of any fights; but what I am saying is, for my last two fights against Georges, he felt greasy.” – Matt Hughes
Apparently the mega fight between GSP and BJ Penn was supposed to be The Prodigy’s last fight in the UFC. This would be a major loss to the UFC and all the MMA fans around the world. He is only 30 years old and is easily the most dominate fighter at 155. I think we still have a few more years of BJ Penn but stranger things have happened in sport, remember Barry Sanders?
