Georges St. Pierre’s team is currently in the process of treating many allegations formed from improprieties very seriously. His team has taken all these allegations as seriously as it takes up its training duties. As we all know, Georges St. Pierre is the UFC welterweight champion training staff filed a complete as well as thorough 17 page response written and has also filled a video on Wednesday and had filed a letter by B.J. Penn’s attorney on 3rd February. They have filed this complain with the Nevada State Athletic Commission which is abbreviated as NSAC. Previously, B.J.Penn’s team had issued a letter that can be considered to be a step that is simply short of a formal complaint. This particular complain was requested the regulatory body to investigate all the accusations against two of St. Pierre’s cornermen Phil Nurse and Greg Jackson. Both of them were accused of improperly having applied Vaseline to Georges St. Pierre’s shoulders as well as on his back right after a minute’s break that took place right between both the first and the second rounds. The cornerman are all allowed to spread Vaseline on the particular fighter’s facial area that surround the eyes right between all the rounds that are considered legitimate right under commission observation. However, St. Pierre, Jackson and Nurse have all denied every allegation that was thrown out at them. So its all out in the open and it’s a legal battle between Pierre and Penn. Allegations and counter allegations have started taking place for a while. St. Pierre had co-incidentally gained victory against Penn through a very close split decision in the first bout in which they faced each other for the first time at UFC 58 in the month of March in the year 2006.
