In response to the reaction he's received about his first post on the subject, he writes:

I usually don't do this, but I will this time. When I talk about a topic one week, it usually doesn't get brought up again. I think a lot of people need to go back and reread last week's blog, including GSP. At no point did I accuse Georges of putting grease on himself. All I said was that he felt slick. I've wrestled over a thousand matches, fought 50 opponents, all I've ever done in life is wrestle and compete with other people. With all that experience, do you think I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between sweat and something else? Last week when I got to Florida, I was in the elevator with Robbie, I said "Robbie did you hear about GSP?" He said, "No, I don't know what you're talking about." I then said that BJ accused him of being slippery, Robbie looked right up at me and said, "That's what you said after Anaheim." Also, I've had several people close to me around my town who have come up to me and said the same thing. I've nothing against GSP, I even think he's somewhat a likable guy. Some people are trying to say that I'm making this personal and that's just not true at all. The reason I didn't bring this up before was because I didn't know there was anything to him being slick. With all the other guys coming out and saying the same thing, I just wanted to be true to myself, and to everybody else, and say that there could be some validity there.

So basically Matt Hughes thinks Georges St. Pierre is a cheater. Because you might "accidentally" grease once, but not multiple times against multiple opponents. And, whoa, hey, Matt, saying St. Pierre is "somewhat a likeable guy"? Geez, get a room. I've never heard such doting praise thrown on another man like that before. What's next? Maybe he's probably not as bad as Hitler? We get it, Matt. You're in love with the guy.
