Lost in the Machida-Shogun discussion was Joe Stevenson's accusation against Spencer Fisher,

"Um, I executed a lot of things right but I felt like I couldn't get the takedown, I was making the excuses like I was like man he feels slippery, he feels oiled up, and I felt like he was but why even say anything like that? It's my fault for even taking it there."

"Oh yeah, definitely he put some like lotion on this morning or last night took a bath, something was different about him, maybe he had a lot of garlic though, that can make you slippery as well."

"Never, never complained about it either, he was just, he felt a little slippery to me, it could just be in my head and that's why I need to improve myself."

On television it appeared that Stevenson didn't have any difficulty with Fisher on the ground so this comment feels a little weird and maybe even forced.

Had the Fisher-Stevenson fight been closer we could have seen had "Grease Gate" the third.
