Watch: Chandler trolls Henderson with 'Showtime Kick' re-enactment
Almost six years later, people still talk about Anthony Pettis' "Showtime Kick" on Ben Henderson. That includes Henderson's next opponent, Michael Chandler.
The Bellator lightweight champion poked fun at Henderson with an Instagram post Friday, in which Chandler can be seen executing Pettis' famous highlight-reel maneuver during practice. Chandler couldn't help but poke fun at Henderson, writing "only a dummy would get caught with this kick."
Of course, Henderson was the "dummy" who got caught by that kick in the closing round of his first meeting with Pettis in the WEC:

Henderson is now the No. 1 contender in Bellator MMA. He challenges Chandler for the belt at Bellator 165 on Nov. 19 in San Jose, Calif.
