Anthony Pettis made a strong case for a UFC Lightweight title shot by using his trademark kicks to great effect against Donald Cerrone. The two came out trading, with Pettis landing an impressive knee off the cage, a la The Showtime Kick. He then scored an absolutely devastating kick to the body, knocking Cerrone out.
