Sherdog’s Top 10: WEC Knockouts

---

6. Anthony Pettis vs. Danny Castillo
WEC 47
March 6, 2010 | Columbus, Ohio

WEC 47 was an excellent card in terms of pure violence. Pettis made sure Ricardo Lamas did not get all the fanfare for icing Bendy Casimir in the opening bout, and poor Castillo had to pay the price. Theirs was expected to be a sensational matchup, but Pettis was the favorite as he entered the cage -- and for good reason, and he demonstrated it in spectacular fashion.

The two waged a tactical battle early, as they both searched for opportunities to strike. After they scrambled back to their feet, Pettis became more of an aggressor. Castillo backed away and circled to his left a few minutes in, but when Pettis feigned a punching combination, Castillo was met with a perfect left head kick. “Last Call” plummeted to the canvas, flat on his back, though he was not out cold. Pettis made sure of the result, as he dropped five unanswered punches before being pushed aside, another thrilling victory authored.
