Enjoy.
WEC Commentator Stephan Bonnar's initial reaction: Ohhhh! Oh my goodness! Did you see that!? He ran up the wall like a ninja and landed a high kick! Unbelievable! I've never seen anything like that! It’s like something out of a movie!
The replay of WEC 53 is tonight on Versus at 8pm PT/11pm ET.

Wandering_Minstrel: I've seen it at least a dozen times now and it just doesn't seem to get old.
HackBennys: One of the greatest fight moments ever, IMO, that was amazing.
mike5k: I've seen this a good 50 times now. There are a few things I could nit-pick about but it's way too spectacular for that. It was a tremendous way to end the promotion.
B_Type13X2: I just got an erection.
The Hitman: Crazy kick. I wish it was a KO. Bendo has one hell of a chin, but that flattened him.
Marker28: Another (+) plus to draw in new mma fans.
mike5k: Okay, now that the hype from the kick has settled some I'll nit pick;
it was an incredible move, a great highlight for the sport and a spectacular way to end the WEC. With that said, if he tries to do that against a serious UFC lightweight he's going to get punched in the face when he heads for the fence. Henderson was backing up, hands down, then slithering along the cage. When Pettis went for it he was just standing there watching him. I don't mean to take anything away from Pettis because it was still sweet but it was also a gift.
arlovskiviako: It was pretty fucking wicked.
GO HARD: it was even on worldstarhiphop.com, pretty cool. first time ive ever seen a mma video on there.
Mike i hear what your saying, but i dont think pettis will try that again. he picked the perfect time and landed it perfectly. i mean anderson silva has never tried the upward elbow ko again. certain things will prolly never happen again... however u have to always worry bout som weird practiced shot from guys like pettis and bones jones.. cuz they do practice that stuff for the right moment.
Mtx: Man, this was definitely some sick kick. I shit my pants when I saw it...
ashka: Is it the wrong reaction to have just burst out laughing at this kick? Rather than thinking it looked impressive, I thought it showed up a lack of overall skills in this fight...but maybe I am being a big party pooper. A different figher...a different fight...a different reaction (I hope), but this just made me think, "are you fucking serious?" Spectacular all the same just maybe for the wrong reasons.
JujitsWho: Part of me thinks this kick was planned. Is it just me, or does it look like Bendo has more than enough time to get his hands up but instead just sits there with his hands down. Almost like it was choreographed ahead of time so that the WEC would go out with a bang.
Either way, I don't really care. The shit was badass and fun to watch
