Any true fan of mixed martial arts is very familiar with Anthony Pettis’ legendary “Showtime” kick against Benson Henderson during their WEC 53 lightweight title fight in December 2010, but did you know that Henderson isn’t the only man who got kicked by Pettis that night?
It turns out that, while he jumped and pushed off the cage with his right foot, Pettis also kicked the cageside cameraman right in the nuts, a detail he revealed during a recent episode of “The HJR Podcast” (via Instagram):
What a legend. And I’m talking about the cameraman, of course. He still got the shot perfectly in frame!
Miss the WEC days, great find phooey
Damn, MMA was so much fun in those days.
That’s pretty funny, Pettis the only guy to ever kick two men at once with the same foot.
WEC was the tits
Damn, that’s nuts!
I miss WEC too…Jose’s double knee on Cub, ..come on. Torres! Cowboy/Varner. Shit was awesome
That kick off the cage was such a crazy move at the time I can still remember exactly where I was, who I was with, and what was said as soon as it happened.
I was there! Great night. Earlier, a dude got ko ed. I think his head landed on a bare spot of the cage floor. I thought he was dead. Rob Stone?
Ken stone. Had to look it up.
Yeah…im not seeing it
Best confirmation of that is right at the 9 second mark
I fucking loved the WEC days…
We didn’t know how good we had it
WEC was great.
I remember getting into heated arguments with friends about how Paulo Filho was going to be the next MMA megastar
Lets not forget Strikeforce.
I had part of my bachelor party at a Strikeforce event at an indian casino. I was in terrible shape…
