Your favorite flying knee knockout?

[Koro_11]

For me Anderson Silva on Carlos Newton will always be tops, not as high flying as some but the way Anderson sets it up and sneaks it in there was just seamless. This was the first fight that really put Anderson on my radar and made me a fan.

Also, Yoel Romero on Chris Weidman, Romero literally knees him twice, once on his way up and again as he's coming down, then Chris knees himself by faceplanting on his own knee... then some follow up Donkey Kong punches from Yoel, in New York in front of Chris' home crowd, then the soldier march around the cage... just brutal.

Spencer Fisher/Matt Wiman.

Spencer hit Matt so hard in the face the he practically flipped over Matt.

Frankie vs Sandhagen. It's jarring to see Frankie get stiffened like that, especially in the first 30 seconds. Perfect timing against a very elusive fighter

Pablo Garza vs Fredson Paixao. This is a historical one because this was the first featherweight fight in the UFC

Andrei was going for the greatest flying knee KO in heavyweight history, but forgot he was trying that against Fedor

Yes that would round out my top 3.

WEC Aldo vs Swanson is my pick.

He hit both his knees on his face, how's that?

Yes, another instant classic.

MVP caving in Cyborgs skull was pretty insane.

 

[podsox]

Almeida’s Against Pickett was insane

 

[Gilday]

Chris Beal has one of the cleanest



Carlos Condit too, even if it didn't put him out

 

[HatKick]

Darius was setting up the doubleleg behind the jab all night. Eventually Barboza timed it. He eats the jab and jumps blindly because he knows what's coming behind it

 

[ayaandirtyboy]

the sandhage one was the most graceful and clean flying knee
while the masvidal one was the most brutal

 

[omawho402]

Can we get Jorge Masvidal?
No, we already have Diego Sanchez at home

 

[JBJ was here]

The best flying knee KO is one where the victim doesn't duck into the knee.

Not necessarily the best, but a flying knee KO that lands waist high can never be anything special; it's just lucky timing or really bad defense.

I remember around 2006 the UFC would show this KO over and over again.
