Samman responds to McCrory's 'oily' allegations after UFC on Fox 17 fight

Tamdan McCrory had a lot of thoughts about his return to the UFC, and among them was the idea that his opponent Josh Samman was greasing.

Greasing allegations are a weird thing in MMA. We know it's happened before, with notable accusations being leveled at Yoshihiro Akiyama (resulting in his Sakuraba fight being changed to a no contest) and of course, GSP's infamous grease-gate, where one of the welterweight champions cornermen could be seen rubbing petroleum jelly into his skin between rounds in his second fight with B.J. Penn. And yet, allegations have always been more numerous than actual proven cases of cheating.
