Looks like B.J. Penn was still able to get some changes through in his case against Georges St. Pierre... there is now a rule known as the "B.J. Penn Rule" that will allow the referee to foul fighters for excessive use of a substance that is deemed illegal.

"In a meeting held Wednesday in Las Vegas, the NSAC approved language prohibiting the use of foreign substances on a fighter’s body prior to or during a fight that "could result in an unfair advantage.

Dubbed by a commission official as the "B.J. Penn Rule," the use of foreign substances will now be added to a list of "fouls" in the Nevada Administrative Code that address tactics illegal to fighters, such as eye gouging, small joint manipulation, or biting."

I have a sinking feeling that this won’t stop Penn from continuing his crusade.

I think BJ is starting to win this.

I definitely am starting to want to see GSP beat the ever living crap out of him again.

I wonder if this is it with BJ and this crusade

He now has a rule named after him. I really hope that this is it, and he can move on.

Question

How are they going to determine the difference between something applied illegally and the sweaty concoction that naturally migrates from faces during grappling?

Are they doing alcohol rubdowns or some kind of solvent that’ll dissolve it?

The only problem

I can see with an alcohol rub down that I can see is that it would give your opponent an advantage. It’s really a lose lose situation. Not only do you have to worry about grease migration, but even sweat in general can cause someone to be slippery, where does the line get drawn?

The Penn Rule- Ammendment #1

-No opponent involved in a fight with BJ or his mommy is allowed to sweat.

What a Fashion Don’t! That’s like your dick wearing socks with sandals.

The Penn Rule- Ammendment #2

If sweating does occur, as stated in Ammendment #1, BJ is allowed to lick the sweat and or blood from his opponent.

Hmmm

So does this officially confirm that GSP “greased” before the fight? The NSAC wouldn’t create a special rule without some hard evidence, correct?
