i watched pettis on the world of jenks. Since then he is definately one of my favorites. i like most lghtweights, but edgar and pettis my favorite. he is pure class own 2 schools at age 24. that kick he did to benhenderson was insane. that wasw taekwondoe right? cause i train in bjj muay thai,grappling and wrestling and i never saw that. he trains with ben aSKEN who is an insane wrestler he made the finals of the ncca 4 times 2 silver and 2 golds. i think asken is a better wrestler then gsp, but gsp could be a better mma wrestler. i hope we start getting 10 fights on ppv instead of 5. isnt it amazing baroni is so big and jacked, but gets killed every fight.

I don't think there's really any sport that practices running up a cage and kicking someone. But he is a TKD black belt, yes. He's also incorporated capoeira into his fighting style in previous fights.

I would agree, I don't think that was pulled from any particular martial art, but was a custom special that apparently he worked up at Duke's gym (and apparently he has more of that kind of thing to show us).

Its cool that Jorge Gurgel likes to stand and bang along with the BJJ Black Belt to go with it, too bad it doesnt work for him

Anthony's brother owned a school. Since then, they affliated with ROufussport and ran a school under that name. Unfortuantely, it was hard for Duke and Anthony to be at the affliate gym in Oak Creek and it never took off like they planned it to. Rey Pettis changed the name to another name and I am sure ANthony is down there when he can to help out.
Ben Askren comes up from Missouri here and there.(not sure if it is Missouri), but we have Ben Askrens coach who works with ANhtony at the gym. Im not sure who he is as I was never introduced. I am unsure if he works with Anthony during the day since im there mostly at night.
As far as you training Muaythai and boxing, Duke inspires us to think outside the box and use all martial arts. Anthony happens to be awesome at TKD and throwing kicks is easy for him. As for that kick itself. We have been practicing that for 2+ years along with other crazy moves off the cage.
