There is no doubt Dana White is taking a few pages out of the Vince McMahon playbook when it comes to marketing the UFC. The post UFC 96 showdown between Qutinon “Rampage” Jackson and Rashad Evans was one of the most entertaining, pre-fight spots fans have witnessed in quite some time

The UFC 95 event last weekend highlighted a number of interesting events. Nate Marquardt transforming himself mid-fight into Ryu from Street Fighter, dismantling his foe, the heavy handed Wilson Gouveia. Then there was Diego Sanchez's entrance, reciting Tony Robbins tapes, yelling "YES! YES!" While some celebrated in glory, others were not so fortunate. Josh Koscheck left England asking himself "What the f**k?" after getting caught by a Paulo Thiago uppercut, marking his third defeat inside the octagon. Feeding unknown fighters, to legitimate contenders in the UFC is becoming an interesting and dangerous trend in the sport.

Georges "Rush" St-Pierre's dominant victory over BJ Penn at UFC 94 should have validated the French Canadian as one of the top fighters in the spot. Instead, "Vasoline-gate" has formulated questions rather than answers. To be clear, I believe nobody should cheat in MMA that includes: greasing up, coming in overweight or taking steroids. With that said, I'm somewhat surprised about how many people suggest this incident ultimately affected the fight, question GSP's character, and want to see a BJ Penn/GSP III bout. To review the evidence here clearly St-Pierres muay thai coach Phil Nurse, is rubbing his back and performing some voodoo, body energy routine. This is typical, crazy GSP, if you heard his post fight interview on MMA Live, he breaks down BJ Penn into a science, odd yes I know. From what the eye can see, Nurse is flirting with illegal activity as Vaseline on his hand does touch the shoulders/back of St-Pierre. Would his coaches intently do this? When cameras and people in the stands can visibly see the corner, why would they try and pull a fast one? I think the bigger question here, is when will the general MMA community cut St-Pierre some slack and give the man some credit?
