Derek Brunson accused Anderson Silva of greasing when they met at UFC 208 this past February.
The UFC middleweight contender said he thinks the former longtime champion “was definitely a little lubed up” in the Brooklyn fight, which Brunson lost by controversial decision.
Greasing is generally the act of using a substance — often a skin oil — to make one’s body slippery, which makes it more difficult for the opponent to land a takedown or grapple.
“Every time I grabbed him he was just slipping out of everything, and his takedown defense was really good that night,” Brunson told MMA Latest News.
