Anthony Pettis is nicknamed "Showtime," and for good reason. Exhibit A: Pettis' fifth-round off-the-cage kick that put the finishing touches on Ben Henderson during their WEC 53 match.
Pettis captured the WEC lightweight championship, as well as a shot at the UFC title, with a unanimous decision over Henderson after a five-round war.
Pettis improved to 13-1 with the win, and his kick helped close out a chapter of MMA history, coming in the final minute of the final round of the final show for the WEC before its merger with the UFC on January 1, 2011.
Despite a strong effort, Henderson dropped to 12-2 with his first loss since 2007.
