Brazilian UFC fighter Gilbert Burns accused Jorge Masvidal of using skin moisturizers before his fight at UFC 287, held on April 9 in Miami.
Recall that the bout between Burns and Masvidal lasted the entire distance and ended in Gilbert's favor with a unanimous decision by the judges.
That guy was freaking slippery. There’s an old dog Miami trick with a lotion because he was so slippery...100%, I do believe [he used lotion]. They wake up on [Saturday] and take the first shower, and they put a lot of lotion on their body...The skin absorbs the lotion, and then after three hours, you do it again, and then after you do it again, then after you do it again. Whenever he starts to sweat a lot [shakes his head].

Burns had a fight this past January against Neil Magny at UFC 283. Gilbert won that fight with a first round choke. He has 22 wins and five losses under his belt. Masvidal has 35 wins and 17 losses.
