This morning, FightOpinon.com published a transcription of a radio interview given by Cesar Gracie, in which he made comments that could have been misconstrued as accusing Georges St. Pierre of greasing:

Jake had a leg a couple of times, GSP got out very well, it looked like a couple of times his leg just kind of slipped right out of there, you know, so it must have been really slippery or something, I don’t know. So, yeah, he defended all the takedowns and made it a stand-up fight, so…

Cesar Gracie was made aware of this misinterpretation and immediately clarified his comments on the Underground Forum:

Literally just got a call about a slippery comment I made and wanted to set the record straight. GSP slipping out of stuff does not mean he greased. Guys fighting in swim trunks can make things slippery. Spitting water on yourself and sweating can make things slippery. It is not illegal.

GSP won and is the Champ.
