    The WEC sure saved the best for last. Not only was Henderson-Pettis *easily* the fight of the year for 2010, Pettis' flying attack was arguably the most spectacular offensive maneuver in MMA history. I will post a .gif ASAP!

    These Duke Roufus guys (Pat Barry, Anthony Pettis, Alan Belcher, etc.) are so creative. Daredevils, man. So fun to watch.

    Watching the .gif or even a clip of it on YouTube just doesn't do it justice. It was at the end of a fantastic, back-and-fourth five-round fight. So many near submissions, near knockouts, reversals... for Pettis to pull that off and nearly knock Henderson out with it is unbelievable.

    I'm amped up. It was the first time I jumped out of my seat (literally) watching MMA in a long while.

    Yeah, that kicked had me pretty fired up. It didn't even register in my mind until Pettis was punching Henderson from the top. I was like "did....did he just fly off of the cage and kick a guy in the head?" it was fucking intense.

    I just have a question, why was this moved from the Portland OT forum?

    You Portland hermits need to learn how the fuck to venture out of your safe zones.

    Fucking incredible move. I really really really wish it would've ended the fight. Would've been the KO of...eternity.

    ^ When Bendo flopped back and his arms went out, I thought he was KO'd. So close. The guy has a great chin. Showed it repeatedly during the fight. Took some big shots.

    You do understand that comments like this don't help the situation?
