GreaseGate II: Brazillian Lube
By Garrett Bailey on Mar 30, 2009
Sort of what happened in Reis' case, but with dudes
BJ Penn was the last fighter to claim his opponent was greased up but no one cared because he got his ass kicked. That all went away as soon as BJ brought his mommy in front of the NSAC for some reason. You thought GreaseGate ended then, but the disease has struck Rio de Janeiro, with another fighter crying foul. This time it’s Maurico Reis of Brazilian Top Team. Felipe Olivieri knocked Reis out in the second round in an event called WOC 3 this weekend.
from Tatame.com:
“Maurício claimed that the athlete was with oil in the body, but the judge, although had noted, said that the decision should be of Tatá (promoter of the event). Tatá preferred to close his eyes, didn’t have enough pulse to take the proper attitude, that it would be to punish, end the fight, giving no contest, whatever. Unfortunately, he took the wrong decision”, claims the leader of the BTT.
Vaseline is a slippery slope.

Garrett, it’s a funny article, but the picture is WAY too distracting. It took me like fifteen minutes to read it.
Also, the guys at Tatame can’t translate to save their lives.
that picture best illustrates what i was trying to get across about the oil of the body
i would think that they would get a human to write their stuff….
Yeah, I think they do. The syntax isn’t just adjusted Portugese (or the Brazilian dialect). The translator just isn’t very good. Definitely not a native english speaker, but that’s true for Gracie Mag a lot of the time too.
Sometimes they just kill idioms. It’s kinda entertaining.
This is very up-to-date information. I think I’ll share it on Delicious.
