Anthony Pettis utilized Muay Thai history to beat Thompson’s Karate last evening.

Those that fall short to pick up from history are condemned to repeat it. Those that pick up from history are destined to overcome it.

Pettis went up to the welterweight and beat Stephen Thompson, the best American Karate style boxer to complete in the UFC.

Pettis is trained by Duke Roufus, the man that offered the well-known “low kick speech” after seeing his brother get stretchered out by Changpuek Kiatsongrit. This fight would certainly change most American fighters’ thoughts on just how to stand in order to prevent the low kick.

By incorporating what they discovered in this fight with what Rick Roufus did ideal in the fight (the superman punch/ hook that damaged Changpuek’s jaw, Anthony Pettis racked up an amazing KO success.

Learn your background, and afterwards make history. Congrats to Duke as well as Pettis to an incredible win.
