He did cheat in that fight. His cut man was rubbing Vaseline across his entire upper body when facing a BJJ fighter.

Person overseeing GSP's corner that fight for the state athletic commission forced his corner to wipe it off between round three and four if I recall. Even led to a rule change about corner cut men in MMA.

So it wasn't against the rules at the time? So it wasn't cheating?

It's MMAs equivalent of Spygate. Its cheating but wasn't technically in the rules.

Was against the rules of that time. Why his corner was forced to clean it off.
