In the days after UFC 94, when BJ Penn accused Georges St Pierre of cheating by having grease rubbed on his body, UFC President Dana White was highly critical of St. Pierre's corner, wondering aloud how such an infraction could have been committed accidentally."Well, George St. Pierre and his camp went before the Nevada State Athletic Commission and he was innocent; they said they found no wrongdoing and so that's the end of that controversy."I don't know if Penn will ever allow the controversy to end completely -- I'm betting Penn will bring it up several times this summer, when both he and St. Pierre are defending their titles -- but I think White is right that for just about everyone else, Greasegate is over.
