This is not fake, its seems to me as Pettis jump on the cage, a worn down Henderson reacted to it thinking it would be other head kick so he threw up the block and try to back up. I guarantee he didn't see it coming off the cage with that extended leg kick. Its legit. This made Ben a better fighter. Cant wait for the rematch.
Fights get rigged, well know it happens (not often imo but it happens) but they don't set up how it will end, choreographing a knockout or full contact blow is not only very difficult but incredibly dangerous and stupid. Anybody who's ever even sparred will know that so please this whole "Set Up" thing is bullshit. Rigged, maybe. Set up, no.
I had always thought he used his left leg against the cage for impulse, but watching in HD he doesn't! Amazing that he did that with his right leg's impulse alone, but it also probably explains why Henderson survived, the kick was likely low on power
@wisefelipe if you look he kicks him with his foot not the shin. and the leg was fully extended on impact meaning the majority of power had already gone
Exactly, that is why he wasn't knocked out. Actually, I think most of the damage came from the surprise of being hit by a kick that should have missed by some 2 meters.
Ppl really think this was set up? I'm pretty sure henderson wanted to lose the title, lose the win bonus as well. Watever! This isn't fake. This isn't WWE. The reason he put his foot on the cage is because he was measuring the distance between him and the cage so he could move away before getting cornered. Besides, do any of you idiots who think its fake know how dangerous it is to let someone intentionally kick you in the head?
@Busternutt69 yeah these dumb idiots don't realize that, they don't know the type of damage something like that can cause to the brain, am pretty sure his jaw is fucked up
people need to get over the fact that this is REAL. seriously?? stop trying to find reasons for this being a set up. just because MMA has never seen it, doesnt mean its set up. im sure Ben H. was itching to get knocked out, lose the belt, and lose a $10,000 bonus. NOT. GET OVER IT HATERS. Pettis is just that beast..
I like how in combat sports we regularly rip on Ninjas yet the first thing we shout when something crazy happens is "Holy shit he bounced off the wall like a fricking Ninja!"
@noobwithanrs dumb little kids like me?? lol well done took you a week to come back with that! well i don't have $60,000 but i'll happily kick you in the face! ;)
That is only the perception of people who didn't watch the whole fight but want to seem smart nonetheless. Henderson had done that foot tap on the fence earlier in the fight as well, because he wanted to set up a superman punch launched off of the fence. He started to do it here but didn't think the opening was there, so he aborted.
@noobwithanrs u fuckin dummy this is martial arts not wwe i watched the fight on tv he's not gona ask to get kicked in the face ben henderson was the champion for awhile u need to stop watching ur wrestling bullshit buddy its gettin to ur head
@noobwithanrs i don't know about you but i wouldn't risk my career to help boost someone else's xD
a kick like that could potentially ruin you.
not to mention the obligatory brain damage that comes with EVERY knockout. he'd have to have been offered some INSANE amount of money to take that kick on purpose >.>
@noobwithanrs wasnt a signal its a setup for a superman punch off the cage then he didnt do it why would he signal for pettis to kick him in the face???
fucking cooles kick that i see land.the only kick that i can compare whit this one, its the one that shogun tryed against arona, shame that one didnt land.
People who think this is fake, are a bunch of dumb morons.
