Time for Ben Henderson vs. Anthony Pettis Rematch

When Anthony Pettis unveiled his famous "Showtime Kick" to seal a victory over Ben Henderson for the World Extreme Cagefighting lightweight title in 2010, we knew we had witnessed a great fight.
As it turns out, the fight was even greater than we realized.

At the time, we knew Pettis vs. Henderson was wildly entertaining, but we didn't know just how good those two guys were. The WEC's lightweight division was widely regarded as second-rate, and few MMA fans thought the lightweights in the WEC could compete at the upper levels of the UFC. Now we know better, as Henderson just beat Frankie Edgar for the UFC lightweight belt at UFC 144, and Pettis got the pay-per-view show started with a sensational knockout of Joe Lauzon.

Now it's time to book a Henderson-Pettis rematch for the UFC lightweight title.

Some will say Pettis doesn't deserve a UFC lightweight title shot because he was already declared the No. 1 contender once before, and lost that status when he lost to Clay Guida. But Pettis got a bad break when he didn't get the title shot that was promised to him upon his entry to the UFC, and there's no better time than now to rectify that.

UFC President Dana White said after Saturday night's fights that he plans to give Pettis the first crack at Henderson's belt, and I believe that's the right call. The first Pettis-Henderson bout was sensational, and if we get 25 more minutes of that kind of action, no fan will complain.

The rapidly changing face of the UFC lightweight division could be perilous for the promotion, as neither Henderson nor Pettis has proven to be a pay-per-view draw. I'd love to see the UFC put the Henderson-Pettis title fight on FOX in August, as a way to give major exposure to its two young lightweights who have the potential to develop into stars, but Henderson-Pettis 2 is a fight that's certainly worthy of pay-per-view. This fight is going to be great.

Ik heb echt van ufc 144 genoten. Mooie Ko's, comebacks, een vet main-event en wat een top publiek! Ik lees hier weleens dat de ufc vaker terug moet naar Rio (waar als iemand zwaar ko gaat nog uitgefloten wordt.) maar laten ze maar vaker terug gaan naar Japan. Wat een respect voor de vechters.

Jammer van Rampage. Hoop dat hij sterker terug komt!

Mark Hunt Knocks Out Cheick Kongo

Mark Hunt has done it again: The former K-1 champion returned to Japan at UFC 144 and knocked out Cheick Kongo in the first round.

Hunt didn't do much in the first couple minutes of the fight, but the one thing Hunt can always do is hit really, really hard, and that's just what he did against Kongo: Hunt dropped Kongo with a left hand to the chin, then allowed Kongo to get back up but continued stalking him, landed more punches to knock Kongo down, and then jumped on him and finished him off on the ground.

The official time of referee Herb Dean's stoppage was 2 minutes, 11 seconds.

Hunt is now, amazingly, on a three-fight winning streak in the UFC heavyweight division. When Hunt signed with the UFC in 2010, most people thought he was washed up and had no business inside the Octagon. But he has rededicated himself to MMA and is looking impressive.

Hunt is still a long way from the top of the heavyweight division, but it's going to be exciting to see what he can do next.

HEERLIJK!

Een van de grootste en meest luie talenten in de vechtsport geschiedenis.

Ik ben een groot fan van Rampage, maar persoonlijk vind ik dat hij moet stoppen..hij heeft niet meer de absolute wil om te winnen. Het begint een beetje zielig te worden..

Rampage was SLECHT!!! Viel echt zwaar tegen. Henderson daarentegen.... Goede gevechten; je zag wel dat veel van die Japanners nog net iets meer hun beste deden.

Kongo woog 229, zou hij niet op 205 kunnen vechten? Daar heeft hij een enorm lengte voordeel. Aan de andere kant, het is wel 11 kilo dat hij kwijt moet.

Er moet echt een 205-235 klasse en 235-265 klasse komen..

[dietrik]

vet event weer, toch wel balen dat edgar verloren heeft. maar wat heeft die kleine man weer gevochten!
