Dear NSAC, Sincerely BJ Penn

BJ Penn and his attorneys have formally filed a request to the NSAC to look into the allegations that are being tossed around from UFC 94’s main event fight.  MMA Junkie brings the breaking news on the information. 

BJ Penn and his legal team have sent a letter requesting someone to look into the issue.  Apparently BJ had let the NSAC know prior to the fight that these kind of activities could be eminent.  They even complained during the fight about how slipper GSP was.

“Because of Mr. Penn’s prior experience and information provided to him before his participation in the bout, a member of Mr. Penn’s team informed [NSAC officials] prior to the bout of the possibility of [St. Pierre] being ‘greased up’ during the bout or engaging in activities that may cause him to be/become slippery during the bout,” the letter read. “While the discussion occurred, Mr. Penn and his team believed that the commission would be on heightened alert to guard against such illegal activities and would take every precaution to ensure Mr. Penn’s safety and a proper and fair contest. Additionally, during the bout, statements were made that [St. Pierre] was ‘too slippery’ and that Mr. Penn could not grab or hold [St. Pierre] because of ‘how slippery’ he was during the bout. … [It] is clear that the Commission’s obligations to ensure and guard against such corruption and unfair advantage were severely compromised as people openly witnessed the improper application of an illegal substance over the neck, shoulders, and back of [St. Pierre] the critical areas of Mr. Penn’s strategy to impose his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu submission skills and techniques during the bout.”

Penn concluded the letter by stating he and his representatives are willing to meet with the NSAC.

Fighters traditionally have 10 days to file a formal complaint with the NSAC, though Kizer said he wasn’t sure when the exact deadline is.
