For me it’s Alex Pereira vs Jason Wilnis because I watched it live, absolutely vicious switch-knee (timestamped):
Took an old account to post this - this is the first knee I thought of.
Too be fair that was like about 25 knees leading to the final knee.While my first thought was Masvidal/Askren, you can't deny the brutality (and impact on the division) of this one:
Pablo Garza had a good one:

Also, my favorite Hellboy knee KO is Uno. That fight is an all-time classic and it was crazy to end like that.
GIF or Aldo skillfully pulled out of back control from a badass little wrestler... and in the moment figured out how to absolutely starch him, effortlessly with that knee.sure if you completely ignore the fact Aldo blatantly cheated a second before that to pull it off
Has to be Wanderlei vs Rampage 2 for me, only time I think someone got KOed dangling between the ropes.

Probably more eyes saw that Flying Knee KO (which was a true flatline KO) than any other knee in MMA history ...

A bad ass statement by Alex Pereira ...
The other guy looked like he was hesitating between throwing a big looping hook or changing levels for a takedown.It didn't lead to an immediate KO, but it was a thing of beauty:
