In 2015, Anthony Pettis was riding high and had been for years. Pettis came to the UFC as the final WEC champion on the heels of his famed “Showtime Kick” against Benson Henderson. He was outworked and outsmarted by Clay Guida in his UFC debut in mid-2011, but just four fights later beat Henderson again to win the UFC’s lightweight title. Another title defense submission followed, as did a coveted spot on a Wheaties box – a first for an MMA fighter. But at UFC 185 on March 14, 2015, Brazil’s Rafael dos Anjos brought the “Showtime Era” as lightweight champ to a fast halt
