St. Pierre's camp responds to Penn's allegations

(via MMAWeekly.com) · February 26, 2009 · 1:30 PM

Georges St. Pierre's camp has filled a letter with the Nevada State Athletic Commission addressing the allegations that B.J. Penn made a month ago, accusing St. Pierre's team of illegally using Vaseline in their UFC championship match on Jan. 31 at the MGM Grand.

Members of St. Pierre's team say their fighter's superior skill and training was the difference in the match and "vehemently deny any allegation as to the intentional and illegal use of 'grease' for Georges' benefit during UFC 94."

NSAC Executive Director Keith Kizer could bring both St. Pierre's and Penn's claims and complete video footage of the incident in question before the commission at a later date.
