Wec 53 Somebody please tell me they also watched the Ben Henderson/Anthony Pettis fight and the flying up the cage kick....simply amazing, would back either of these guys in the UFC.

i was watching. looked like something out of the matrix. walked the fence for 2 steps, pivoted off and kicked henderson upside his head.
it was a great fight and worth watching if you missed it. very impressed with the performance from pettis.
Best move in MMA history. The previous one for me was the flying scissor heel hook applied by Ryo Chonan on Anderson Silva at PRIDE Shockwave in December 2004.

probably the craziest move in WEC history, near the end of the last round of WEC's existance, what a way to go out!!!! all of the televised matches were very entertaining.......
It was crazy. To miss and follow through with a wall walk and kick to the chops....... amazing. And lets not forget that this was near the very en dof the 5th round.
From what I have been reading, Pettis will get the next lightweight UFC title shot, let's hope they follow through with that and that he fights the winner of Jan 01 title fight between Franky Edgar and Gray Maynard...it would be a big jump up in class and Pettis is just 23, but love the kid's heart and style.
