Anthony Pettis just pulled off the most amazing kick I have ever seen. Please post the video if anyone finds it.

That Anthony Pettis kick is easily the coolest kick I've ever seen and possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen in a cage.

omg.

And the thing is, that won him the fight. That fight was 2-2 in the first two rounds, and Ben Henderson had just taken him down and taken his back. Pettis escaped, but there was only about 1:30 left in the fight, and Henderson was likely ahead in the round due to the takedown+back control. That ****ing ninja **** nearly KO'd Henderson and won Pettis the round and the fight.

Exactly, the context of the kick makes it that much more impressive. That kick summed up the last 4 years of the WEC.

Why does that other guy touch the cage with his foot at 0:08? It's like he's saying to him 'ok it's time for the kick we practiced'.

ben henderson fights like that, backwards, counter punching and kicking, he wanted to know where the cage was at.

He knew where the cage was since his back had just touched it, looked more like him getting ready to push off if Pettis came at him.

I kinda had a tinfoil hat on too when I watched it. During the replay, the second angle they show makes it look like hendersons head is moving while pettis's foot is still 6-12 inches away.

I replayed it in slow motion like 100 times, but I'm pretty sure that henderson saw it at the last second, and started to turn away, and this is why it looked like that (plus why it wasn't a knock out).

Assuming that it wasn't some weird set-up, that was easily the sickest moment in MMA history. Too clutch. Final minute of the final round of the final championship of the WEC, in a completely tied battle, winner becoming the number one contender in the UFC. Too clutch.

It was ownage + style. Exactly what mma (well the ufc) is all about.

Silva is the gayest fighter ever, is he ******ed. like for real? (LoL) why does he just jump around like a dumbass. Hope someone rapes him hard soon so he can retire.

Also, GSP is the man. that is all.

I went back and watched it tonight and it seemed very strange the way he touched the cage. Then I went back and watched the entire fight. Henderson makes the same motion and then attempts a superman punch twice in the earlier rounds.
