How is that kick Illegal? There is no rule against springing off the fence. You just can't grip the fence with your hand. 100% legal, 100% awesome.

Josh Gross twitter:

I don't know how Ben Henderson is conscious! Pettis leapt off the cage and connected on a high kick to the head. That was insane. Legal?

I ask about the legality because I'm not sure you can use the cage at as a tool for offense. I'm checking.

Spoke to Doc Hamilton: that kick is 100% legal. Nothing in rules about using the cage that way. Congrats Anthony Pettis. That was genius.

'decent kick' ?? It takes a natural ninja to make that kick and not fall on your ass and look like a noobcake. That was AMAZING.

I woke up my girlfriend, who thought someone was breaking in.

Nobody was breaking in.

I was just really excited.

I love how Henderson's defenses go down because he realizes he's out of danger.

Prediction: wrong Henderson   wrong Submission   wrong Round 3  

I became a huge Pettis fan after tonight, and on the heels of the Shane Roller performance, made even more impressive since Roller defeated Jamie Varner in the first round. Still, I feel like Henderson had a better shot at both Edgar and Maynard than Pettis does. Time will tell, as it always does in this sport.

@gregory What are the odds of getting a 5th round knockout or 4/5 submission for the last 3 years.....

Prediction: correct Pettis   correct Decision  

odds are not great.

if you only look at title fights (which are the only ones that have rounds 4-5)... it's something like 7% end via ko/tko/sub in round 4 or 5.

but there have been some notable ones lately so it definitely happens.
