the american Anthony Pettis measures forces against Ben henderson, on the 31st, for the UFC lightweight belt. The fighters have faced each other before, in a fight that went down in history because of a kick from Pettis. For the next fight, the fighter gives the hint that more may come.
Pettis and Henderson faced each other in the last fight in the history of the WEC, an organization that was dissolved in December 2010 and incorporated into the UFC. On that occasion, Anthony took the champion's belt with a victory by decision after applying the “Showtime Kick”, a movement in which the fighter walked along the fence before executing a high kick that sent Henderson flying. knockdown.
In an interview with the website MMA Fight Corner, “Showtime” said that he is not going into the rematch with a specific previously planned move, but says that anything can happen:
“I don't try a specific move that I want to try, or that I think will look cool, or that will make the fans go crazy. I think if you do that, you're limiting yourself in what you can do. I like to keep everything available. I have a lot of skills, a lot of moves that the world hasn't seen in the Octagon yet. If I have the opportunity, I will execute them.”
The rematch between Henderson and Pettis will be the main fight of UFC 164, which will be held on August 31, in Milwaukee, the city where the challenger lives.
