Big Nog's Camp Accuses Sylvia of Greasing

by Kid Nate on Feb 7, 2008 11:03 PM EST in MMA News

Is Tim Sylvia the American Yoshihiro Akiyama? That's what Big Nog's trainers are saying:

Luiz Alves, the muy thai trainer for Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, was recently interviewed by the Brazilian news site tatame.com and has made some interesting remarks concerning "Big Nog's" recent victory over Tim Sylvia. Alvez made the claim during his interview that "the Americans" were using baby cream which would not become slippery until it came in contact with sweat.

this would hurt the gresed up fighters game just as much as it would his competition. Big claim he better have some proff to back it up

I think what Big Tim had was good takedown defense early on. I don't really think he greased...but I think it's one of those "we'll never know for sure" things.

Although, Nog's corner should know well enough that if they had any concerns they should have expressed them during (or directly after) the fight when it could be checked. Saying it after the fact makes no sense to me.
