In the aftermath of Vaseline gate it appeared that the Penn Camp and St. Pierre camp were engaged in the equivalent of international jockeying. Both sides  weighed their options and demanded action without formally pursuing it. After several weeks it appeared that Penn was simply trying to save face and that the whole matter would fade away. Well have you ever known B.J. to go quietly into the night?

MMA Weekly is reporting that B.J. Penn has filed a formal complaint with the NSAC. Here are some of the highlights,

"It is Penn's belief... that the aforementioned strategies were intentional and were orchestrated by Pierre as a means to unfairly and illegally defeat Penn in a regulated and sanctioned championship bout that prohibits the aforementioned conduct and that such calculated actions by Pierre were implemented as a means to prevent Penn from defending himself in a manner consistent with that contemplated in unarmed combat due to the highly and unnaturally slippery nature of Pierre during the bout," the document states.

It goes on to demand punishments for St. Pierre.

The complaint requests numerous punishments for St. Pierre's camp. It asks the commission to fine St. Pierre, Jackson, Nurse, and the unnamed parties up to $250,000; suspend St. Pierre's license as well as the licenses of Jackson, Nurse, and the unnamed parties; change the result of the bout to a "no contest;" and require Pierre undergo a pre-bout shower to make sure no substances exist on his body.
