Top 5 Flying Knee Knockouts in UFC

#2 Thomas Almeida Vs Brad Pickett

The legs give out, the eyes roll back and the body goes limp... IT IS ALL OVER!

Thomas Almeida came into the UFC with an unbelievable record of 17-0. After beating his first two opponents in the UFC with ease, Almeida was matched up against the veteran Brad Pickett.

While Almeida had a kicking advantage, Pickett had the better boxing of the two and gave Almeida a very hard time in the first round by knocking him down twice and almost finishing him.By the end of the first round, Almeida had a bloody forehead, a broken nose and a constant stream of blood pouring down his face while his adversary looked very fresh compared to him.

But boxing was Pickett's strong suite and while he had the faster hands, Almeida had better Muay Thai and variety of attacks, as Pickett was about to learn in a merciless fashion.

In the first few seconds of the 2nd round, Pickett attempted a flying knee and missed it, only by a few inches, but in response Almeida fired off a flying knee that landed straight on the side of Pickett's jaw, knocking him out instantly and cementing Almeida's position in the top 10 of the bantamweight division.
