American fighter of Moroccan descent Youssef Zalal suspects fellow American Calvin Kattar of using vaseline during their bout.
This is the crazy part – we worked a lot of grappling, and I s— you not, I felt like there’s Vaseline all over his legs. I swear to God. He was the most slippery guy I’ve ever seen in my life. I don’t want to be that guy…but man, that was suspicious…
