Check out my TikTok which has a ton of behind the scenes at different sports events:

1) everyone has to have vaseline it’s not a choice
2) it gets applied by a commission cutman, not the fighter or their corner so they can’t cheese it even if they wanted to

GSP:- all right I'm gonna use this to protect my shoulders and back. Shouldn't be a problem

Actually it doesn’t make the punches “slip”, rather makes the skin more elastic and forgiving

Can confirm
It's fucking useful in boxing especially
Last time me and my brother sparred we got burned so badly because we both had our hits slip off of each other and the speed of the punch literally felt like hell on your skin

It also stops sweat from your hair dripping into your eyes. It's main purpose.

It’s used to prevent “glove burns” similar to a carpet burn.

professional boxer's use it too and btw it is NOT illegal to use Vaseline the cutman puts it on the fighter and they know how much to use. Why are you throwing shade on Conor ??? Vaseline is used to help prevent cuts.

Fun fact wrestlers put a lot of vasoline on their body, that's why they never bleed and they look sweaty at start
