Vaseline Application to GSP Changes UFC Cornerman Rules
We’re all tired of hearing about the GSP Vaseline controversy regarding his cornerman applying Vaseline to his back in between rounds. We’ve heard the stories over and over again, “GSP had an advantage”, “BJ could have beat him”, “It’s ruining the integrity of the sport”. Well, we finally have some closer to the deal. The UFC spent some time analyzing their current cornermen rules and have decided to make some changes. According to Sports Illustrated Magazine, the new rules stated:
“UFC has now instructed that cornermen associated with the fighters will no longer be allowed to handle the Vaseline used in between rounds to treat and prevent cuts. The UFC will now provide one cut man for each corner for the fight. Only two people are allowed to enter the Octagon between rounds so if a cut man is necessary to apply Vaseline or work on a cut, one of the other cornermen working with the fighter must exit the cage to allow the cut man to work.”
