Press Release
Laguna Beach, CA – Anthony Pettis isn’t called “Showtime” for nothing! Pettis proved last night that his nickname is well deserved during “WEC 53: Henderson vs. Pettis,” the final WEC fight card of all time. Pettis delivered an unforgettable flying roundhouse kick to Ben Henderson that left jaws dropped and the MMA world talking.
Pettis overcame a nearly 2-to-1 underdog rating, dethroning lightweight title-holder Ben Henderson in the card’s featured fight of the night.
Pettis will move on for his shot to face the winner of UFC 125, between current champ Frankie Edgar and challenger Gray Maynard.
Earning a well-deserved shot at unifying the UFC lightweight title, Pettis is a top contender displaying unbelievable moves and we’ve only just begun to see what this 23-year old athlete has in store for the sport of MMA.
