Anthony “Showtime” Pettis was the talk of the MMA world after he dropped Ben Henderson at WEC 53 with a kick straight out of the pages of a comic book.
Pettis now says his goal is to be the best lightweight in the world. To achieve that end, Pettis faces some daunting competition in the form of Frankie Edgar, Gray Maynard, Gilbert Melendez and Eddie Alvarez to name just a few…
Pettis spoke with Fighters Only moments after he won the WEC Belt from Ben Henderson in Phoenix AZ. “THE KICK” is discussed as well as Gray Maynard and Frankie Edgar.
