Anthony Pettis - Purple Rain (RIP)

[CodCommando]

That leg looks like it should be hung up in a meatshop.

Looking like a damn Staph infection in this one.

Fuck me..
And here am I bitching about legday.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Pettis' toughness can't be questioned.

He took a savage beating from Barboza tonight, as well as from RDA, and hung in there for the whole duration.

Dude can take some punishment without folding.

There was a lot of gnarly leg kicks in 197 across the card. Was very enjoyable, will remember this one simply for the amount of leg kicks being thrown.

 

[SherdogGoat]

Damn that is nasty, I know Rogan was consistently talking about how bad his leg looks but I didn't get to see it clearly. His leg would look much worse tomorrow, hopefully he posts a pic like Faber did after Aldo wrecked his legs.

I was actually extremely surprised that Barbosa was able to put on a striking clinic with Pettis. I bet Ariel feels like an ass for asking Pettis if Barbosa was a gimme fight.

I was hella surprised too. I mean I knew Barbosa's low kicks were vicious but Pettis accuracy with his kicks to the body are superior. I thought Pettis would even win sub but man, Pettis has really just been disappointing to watch. Barboza showed great improvement with his striking but as usual, leaves him self way too open, Pettis unfortunately has little power in his hands.

I was rooting for Barboza but im kinda bummed that Anthony lost ... im hoping Anthony comes back stronger after this one
No matter what he is still a fkin awesome fighter
Respect

He got beat up tonight, where does he go from here? No title chance likely for a while now

Nothing will ever top the uncooked doner kebab meat that was Feber's leg after Aldo:

How did he leave himself way too open? He got the better of Pettis with his hands. He landed 2 left hooks that would have taken out some other LW's but Pettis can take a punishment and is hard headed. If Barbosa left himself open the what did Pettis do then?

Damn Barbosa is ripped!

I'm not saying specifically, I'm saying if you watch all Barbosa's fights, having his hands down and not bring them back up after throwing any sort of kicks is usually what gets him tagged. Aside from the Cerrone fight, he has been tagged exactly like that many times. It's a bad habit.

Yeah, he looked like a zombie on the weight cut as usual. I think he's genetically just well toned.

He looks to have finally improved on that though. I was expecting him to do that and eat a head kick.

Okay cool. What did you think of his defense in this fight? he looked like he had his hands up in this fight
