I think BJ would've lost anyway but putting vaseline on a fighter anywhere but the face is a big no no. You might not think it'd make a difference but it does. Dana said they were putting it on in between rounds 1 & 2. We don't know if they put it on GSP before the fight even started or not but even after the first round a lot of fighters aren't really sweaty yet. Plus, trying JJ on someone that's sweaty is hard but not as hard as an oily substance mixed in with the sweat. Akiyama had several fighters complain about him being slippery in Japan and his fight against Sakuraba was even overturned because he put lotion on himself before the fight. I'm a fan of GSP so I obviously don't have a problem with him winning, and maybe BJ is just looking for something to bitch about, but this is a legitimate complaint.
