Yessss pettis strikes again

 

[redhot_]

Someone needs to .gif those kicks though, damn.

 

[Reg]

god is on pettis's side!

 

[saelz8]

So Bendos arm broke, or dislocated.

 

[juliushandle]

back to the rap game for bendo

 

[Master Thespian]

Oh shit, Jesus was on Pettis' side? SWERVED!

 

[YaGaMi]

Time for Aldo to move up. Would love to see that fight now!

 

[Mister Wilhelm]

And Bendo just got a nice, shiny new black belt too!

That was such a basic setup. Ben even had his hand in a completely rookie position, wrapped right around Pettis's neck. No idea what he was thinking. No respect.

 

[Nameless]

Unfortunately there will probably be a rematch.

 

[mr2xxx]

Pettis outclassed Benson.

 

[King326]

huh? HUH? Who is the next in line?

TJ Grant.

 

[alr1ght]

Fighters win this one over the athletes.

 

[NomarTyme]

He lost to Clay Guida? what the....

 

[cchum]

Kinda expected that, but not that fast

SHOWTIME BABY, HE WANTS ALDO LETS GOOO

 

[op_ivy]

calling out aldo. i love this kid.

 

[Master Thespian]

Unfortunately there will probably be a rematch.

Benson's 0-2.

ALDO CALLED OUT

 

[dream]

Then he shits on Cowboy Cerrone and challenges Aldo to a title vs title fight. Showtime Pettis is my favorite fighter in the world.

I still wish he had broken Benson's arm off though.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

FUCK YEAH WAR FUCKING SHOWTIME

Brehs, we knew it was going to happen. That's our Lightweight Champion.

 

[charsace]

Wow that was great. How the fuck did Guida manage to blanket him?

That was before he leveled up bjj to showtime bjj.

Those Pettis body kicks were like some Van Damme movie shit. He took a beating and then leveled up to avenge someone.

 

[iddqd]

TJ Grant.

Forgot about that one.
Want to see that more then holding up two divisions for the Aldo fight.

 

[FACE]

The sports entertainment gods did as well.

Indeed.

Thank you Jesus for giving me the ability to temporarily shut off human brains for personal gain!

 

[juliushandle]

[Kabuki Waq]

Can some gif the weird kick that Pettis landed before Bendo got on top?

WE NEVER FORGET GUYS

 

[polyh3dron]

Awesome, awesome PPV

 

[Washed_Out]

Glad Pettis got the win but I don't think he'll hold on to that for long.

 

[alr1ght]

Pettis is your new superstar Dana. I know you won't do anything with him, though.

 

[slightconfuse]

Silva , bendo

GSP is next

WE NEVER FORGET GUYS

[Jest Chillin]

Who would've thought an armbar? I guess Pettis.

The biggest thing I'm thinking though while rewatching this fight is that it's going to be incredibly hard to match or beat the excitement created in the first one.

The cage leaping kicks work because they're not something the other fighter expects (or at least didn't) similar to Silva and Machida's front snap kicks. Bendo should be expecting them this time so for a kick KO, Pettis is going to have to either accumulate damage over time or pull something new out of his bag of tricks. I just don't think a normal roundhouse kick is something that's going to catch Bendo unless it's thrown from a unique angle (Condit v. GSP) or an insanely perfectly timed counter.

If this rematch ends up on the ground quite a bit, I don't think it's going to be all due to Bendo. In the first fight, Pettis was all too happy to grapple and even spent almost the entire 2nd round on Bendo's back in a stalemate attempt for a RNC. I actually wouldn't be surprised if Pettis has been working on his bottom transition game and some ankle/knee subs.

Bold was right. Italics wrong. Underlined was in the ballpark but not completely right.

 

[Kogepan]

Awesome, awesome PPV

Great night

So happy the Jackson fighters got KTFO too.

 

[charsace]

Jesus didn't get his shit broken either.
