It was immediately clear - if it wasn't before - what the strategies were going to be.
The first shot was a charging uppercut, but didn't do much damage. Marquardt had a charging jab of his own, but also to not much avail. However, a stuffed shot from Palhares is reversed in scramble with the Brazilian on top. In a leg lock attempt where Palhares fell back from guard, Marquardt immediately slipped out. From there the Greg Jackson product laned a massive punch on top. Marquardt continued to punch until referee Herb Dean stopped the fight.
In the replay, however, it seemed that Palhares indicated Marquardt was illegally greased, which aided his easy escape from the leg lock. According to commentator Joe Rogan, the commission, referee and ringside physician all checked Marquardt for greasing and none found evidence.
The fight was stopped at 3:28 of round 1.

Palhares was dumb for pointing it out during the fight. He should’ve defended himself at all times.
Props to Nate for taking advantage
Yep.
Now Nate and GSP are going to hop into a grease bath and tell tales of their victories.

your article is pretty misleading
Rogan super clearly stated that he was checked for 3 or 4 people before and after the fight. You make it sound like no one will ever know.
Palhares missed a hold and got his shit rocked.
"According to commentator Joe Rogan, the commission, referee and ringside physician all checked Marquardt for greasing and none found evidence."
Yeah, what the fuck Luke. Make it clearer.
BOOSH

but his camp does...
camp been accused of greasing + steroid user = not unbelievable that he could have greased.
I don’t think he did for this fight but who knows. The commission checked so I doubt he did.

who greased in his camp?
I really don’t know?
Guess not..... to me it looks like he says
“camp been accused of greasing…”
then, to me, it looks like you say “who greased in his camp”
then I though I typed “He said accused. GSP.”
Could be wrong though. Have been once before.

Anyone with a brain knows that there was no intention to cheat. A first time corner man screwed up and put vaseline in the wrong place (vaseline that is legal when used properly).

it was just a general comment, not specifically for you. I just attached it up here where most of the greasing talk was.
meh, probably should of just moved on anyway. Never comment when frustrated.

They greased GSP like a turkey during the Penn fight, that’s all I know. I don’t say accused because it’s a fact, you can just check the fight and see the witch doctor go wild with the oil rubbing.
I'm a lover not a fighter
Look. If any of u guys think that this superficial grease check at the end of the fight proves there is no possiblity of anything shady, then you’re crazy.
PLenty of other ways…eating greasy foods, bathing in baby oil the day before. This only proves he didn’t put actual vaseline on right before the fight. he got out of that submission like it was nothing.

So...hyped...
Eating a ton of greasy food
is not against the rules. At all. Nothing shady about that.
You’re reaching, let it go. Herb Dean has integrity out the ass and I’m inclined to believe him over a frustrated opponent.

Surely eating greasy food has its own set of negative effects
I find it hard to believe a fighter would eat a lot of greasy food just to get slightly more slippery during the fight. The negative factors for your career would outweigh the questionable benefits

Texas...
The same guys who botched the strikeforce event a few weeks ago..
The commentators always mention how being sweaty helps against subs in later rounds...
So since it is allowable, I always thought it would be smart if they warmed up to sweat a little before the fight. If the UFC doesn’t make it illegal, why shouldn’t anyone do it? Silly to avoid using any legitimate techniques to win. Water can be poured all over the athlete before and between rounds, too…
Nate ripped his leg out of the hold hard
You don’t need grease to slip out when you pull that hard. Leg muscle>Arm Muscle

Paul Harris arm muscle>Leg muscle

Dana, Goldie and Joe are all in a rush to nip this in the bud, but Palhares’ reaction makes me wonder. He’s never done anything like that before to my knowledge. Just sayin.
Just sayin' what?
The commission and the ref checked him, what else do you want?
Or maybe they all should have just said nothing, let the situation fester, not have any clarification and act like nothing happened?

He’s just saying that it was a very real reaction to something that apparently didn’t happen. I don’t think anyone is doubting the judgement of all the officials who checked Nate, but actually just pondering what the hell happened on Palhares’ end to cause him to react as he did.

Well, Nate did say that he worked up a sweat before he came out, and it looked like he shaved his legs, so he was definitely a little slippery, just nothing illegal
can't blame the guy though
Paul Harris is a leg wrecking machine, he was just looking out for his health

Well...
has anyone escaped so easily from one of Palhares’s leglocks before? Perhaps he’s just used to cinching those every time, that when someone was finally ready for it and got right out, he didn’t know what to do.

Henderson didn't escape easily
but Palhares still accused him heavily of being greased up afterwards.

Context is everything
Smoogy is critical of all the machinations of Zuffa management and appeared to be calling into question the motivations of Dana & Co. in quickly clearing up the matter. His comments are obviously casting suspicion on events that seem pretty cut and dry based on the facts provided.
So you can get all snarky and defensive yourself or you can let Smoogy stick up for himself.

I think Bj and his lawyer were right.
there needs to be commission supervised hot showers right before the fight, then that person that supervised walks the fighters to the ring. Greasing is to grappling what loading your gloves is to striking.
Paul Harris has been grappling for along time. He knows how human skin is supposed to feel. Something wasn’t right.

Boy talk about making my day nothing was more beautiful than seeing Palhares get his head caved in by Nate tonight.
The only think that made it sweeter was him once again claiming that another guy greased because he couldn’t tap them this guy and BJ should hang out together.
Though i’m sure that won’t stop the crybaby brigade from reaching and making all sorts of ridiculous accusations without any proof. But in the end that doesnt’ matter because Palhares had this coming because of his crap and he’s going to be thinking about this loss for a long time.

This has got to go down as one of the stupidest ways to lose out on a title shot.
Palhares is known for his leg locks and Nate, a BJJ blackbelt was ready for them and was able to escape it...
… so obviously he must be cheating? C’mon Palhares. You gotta do better than that. At least when Tito makes an excuse, it’s so outlandish it’s funny.

Was it clear that Hendo was greasing too since Palhares accused him after not being able to do shit to him in their fight. Palhares doesn’t know shit, if he did he wouldn’t have let his guard down in the middle of a fight and gotten knocked the fuck out that is the only thing clear as day to me.

Yeah, because Nate has no experience at the elite level of MMA competition.
And he certainly would not have drilled heelhook defense like a madman once he found out Palhares was his opponent. Try harder.
Maybe this wouldn't be a problem
if Palhares wouldn’t have specifically gone for the heel hook from what looked like side control and instead did some GnP or set up an armbar or a choke. I have no idea why he ignored the dominant position he was in to go for a move that’s more difficult to hold on to than pretty much any other sub. Such a disappointment.

If a dude fails a steroid test, throws a punch after a fight against Almeida, is part of a camp that has been accused of greasing a couple of times, there is one of the most bizarre greasing accusations in history, and the only thing clearing him of suspician is the Texas fucking athletic commission, I’d say its fair to speculate.

Keep your conspiracy theories.
Herb Dean believes in the integrity of the sport. If you think he was coerced or influenced into lying in those 2 minutes between the end of the fight and the post fight interview, you’re fuckin’ nutter butters.
Anybody perpetuating this line of thinking is impugning the character and professional abilities of both Nate Marquardt and Herb Dean. Both of them have proven that they are very good at what they do, which is a much more reasonable explanation than “he cheated and everybody colluded to cover it up in 2 minutes or less!”
"Someone is WRONG on the internet. What do you want me to do? LEAVE? Then they'll keep being wrong!"
-Randall Munroe
Its not a conspiracy theory, and that’s not how I wanted to make it seem. Dean got to look at him after the fight, after the grease would have been mostly dissipated, for five seconds with everybody yelling at him.
Did Nate grease, probably not. But there are enough factors here where its reasonable to question.

You're telling me that 30 seconds after the grease supposedly changed the nature of the fight
it was mostly dissipated? Whatever. I’m done with this.

Yeah, just because multiple officials have cleared Nate of wrongdoing doesn't mean we can't speculate.
I mean, it’s not like Palhares isn’t known for shitty, unsportsmanlike behavior and instant accusations of greasing as soon as his elite opponents manage to avoid his heelhooks. I mean, it’s not like he goes for the heelhook every damn fight, so how could his opponents be ready for it? IT MUST BE GREASE because Rousimar “Hendo Nate is Greasing!!” Palhares says so and we must ignore any and all of the officials that have cleared Marquardt of the accusations. Jesus man.
Wasn't everyone bashing the commision?
I think they were all saying they’re incompetent and stuff, but now they say something and suddenly their words are facts.
I'm late to this, but...
Palhares CLEARLY wasn’t looking anywhere near Herb Dean right before he got socked in the mouth. Who the hell WAS he talking to?
Don't believe a word I say, I don't train BJJ.
