Nevada State Athletic Commission officials who oversaw Saturday’s Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort headliner at UFC 126 did not see any behavior that suggested foul play.
Silva set some forums abuzz when he wiped his forehead with his hand just prior to the fight and then briefly wiped his chest.
It was easy fodder for conspiracy theorists who thought the champion might be trying to give himself an unfair edge by using Vaseline from his face to make his body slicker. But the NSAC head said that’s not the case.
