The birth of the showtime kick. Movie stuff. That moment alone probably put Anthony Pettis on so many people's favorite fighters list. I imagine it turned alot of non Mma fans into fans and probably still does

He also doesn't get the credit for revolutionizin leg kicks targeting the calf no one was throwing calf kicks until Ben utilized it against Frankie and their fights to neutralize Frankie's movement and it still took some time for folks to start adding it to their skill set now it's as common a technique as an overhand
