Before watching former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis take on Eddie Alvarez at UFC Fight Night: Dillashaw vs. Cruz in Boston, re-live his armbar win over Benson Henderson, which netted him UFC gold.
Anthony Pettis' first fight with Ben Henderson at WEC 53 was an all-time classic, with Pettis' 5th round "Showtime Kick" sealing him the unanimous decision victory, as well as the distinction of being the final 155 lbs champion in WEC history.
Henderson ended up becoming UFC lightweight champion less than two years after losing to Pettis, but on August 31st, 2013, in Pettis' hometown of Milwaukee, WI, the two would square off in a short-notice rematch at UFC 164.
