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!
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.
komen er nog filmpjes of?
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..
