With more pound-for-pound trouble than at any other UFC event before, at UFC 94 on January 31st, Las Vegas and PPV audiences saw not one but two controversies go down.

The first was in the B.J. Penn vs. Georges St. Pierre bout. Between rounds, Penn alleges that one of GSP's corner men, Phil Nurse, purposely sabotaged the fight by applying Vaseline to parts of GSP's shoulders and back, preventing Penn from being able to properly carry out his known strategy of taking the fight to the floor. Now, a fighter's corner-man can't also be his cut-man.

P.S. - GSP kicked Penn's ass that night, making it look like Penn never even had a chance. Next in St. Pierre's sights--Thiago Alves.

Second, while Karo Parisyan may come out victorious in his fight against Dong Hyun Kim, he lost in the larger sense when he tested positive to prescription painkillers. Parisyan was fined and temporarily suspended for his actions.
