Believe it or not, the sensational kick Anthony Pettis used to floor
Benson Henderson was inspired by the cult martial-arts classic, “Ong
Bak.”
Pettis’ coach, Duke Roufus, said he’s played around with “old-school”
Muay Thai techniques for several years, and the crazy kick that Pettis
landed is just one such attack.
“I just believe in being creative,” Roufus today told MMAjunkie.com. “Anthony is a lifelong martial artist, and I’m a
lifelong martial artist, and we’re just trying to keep evolving and
blend it all together.”
