I can only think of two, The Irvin/Martin and Fisher/Wiman flying knees, but I do remember the Bisping/Pointon knee. I can't remember if it was a KO or not, but it was amazing.

Irvin over Martin is the one that stands out for me. If I remember right, Irvin was gassed after the first round and came out of nowhere with the flying knee in the first few seconds of round 2.

I don't think that Kid actually hurt him with the knee, it looked more like he just knocked him off balance and then knocked him out with the punch as he tried to stand up.

Anderson Silva on Carlos Newton was nice.

I was so sad when that happened, Newton had him covered up until then!

Anderson Silva's Khao loy on Carlos Newton was brutal, and Newton was doing so well too.

A great one that springs to mind is is Glaube Feitosa's Khao Loy that knocked Musashi out. It wasn't a particullarly graceful flying knee, but it's worth a mention because no one saw it coming from Feitosa, a karate fighter.

If you have not yet seen it, its at the end of this video

Glaube Feitosa Highlight


Pretty good vid too, lots of spectacular looking (but not very powerful) kicks.
Well edited, makes Glaube look like a good fighter, when really he isn't all that hot.

See Remy Bonjasky for more information on flying knees
more specififcally his fights with Ray Mercer, Cyril Abidi.

Oh and the Veron White fight. Best ******* KO ever. Bonjasky goes for a flying knee and White moves to in mid air Remy turns it into a flying kick and KO's White.

Christ I must be having a bad day, I can't believe I didnt mention the Cyril Abidi fight!

You can't have a thread about flying knees without Remy Bonjasky!
