NSAC sets Mar. 17 review date

The NSAC will review submissions from both fighters' camps

SPORTSNET.CA

The Nevada State Athletic Commission has scheduled a formal review of the Jan. 31 title bout between Georges St. Pierre and B.J. Penn, for which St. Pierre's win was marred by controversy because of accusations that his cornerman illegally applied Vaseline to his body.

NSAC executive director Keith Kizer informed MMAjunkie.com that it will look at submissions from both camps during its next scheduled meeting on March 17. This includes a six-minute, 35-second video from Penn's camp and a 17-page document submitted by St. Pierre's trainers and doctors last week.

It will also involve a public meeting with both camps sending representation.

It's unlikely that the outcome of the bout will be affected or that St. Pierre will face any punishment. However, members of St. Pierre's camp could be disciplined.

I'm glad that (odds are) the fight results will not be overturned and GSP will not be punished.

I'm also glad that the GSP camp may face punishment. Even if the vaseline was not intentional, it still happened. The UFC will benefit by having the NSAC deal with this strongly.

Nobody wants to second guess every fight result from now on.
