    ^ Anderson smears Vaseline from his face onto his chest and arms.

    This is part of Anderson's pre-fight ritual. He's done it in the past.

    GSP gets a lot of junk for Phil Nurse rubbing his back and shoulders that one time. What about Silva doing it to himself?

    the gif does look pretty incriminating, it seems like hes really trying to get at the vaseline on his face. But what I am wondering is how much vaseline he can actually get from his eye to his body and if it helps. Although I guess that doesn't really matter, cheating is cheating.

    It's not even enough vaseline to see really. What is the rule on this though?

    I just don't understand why he is doing it.

    What is the benefit of this? Less grip for the other fighter?

    His opponent was a boxer so the benefit seems to be none.

    Maybe he likes to keep his skin soft and silky.

    LOL, he does it so openly. He probably wants people to say something, or he uses it as a tactic. Silva is to smart to be acting stupid without purpose behind it.

    Or like speeds said, it's just his routine and GSP should be allowed to do it as well.

    No that is not even close to enough to even think of being cheating. He prob had too much on his face and where else to rub it..
