Video: Relive 10 of the craziest flying finishes in UFC history

The most prolific flying finish in UFC history likely came last summer, when Jorge Masvidal flattened Ben Askren at UFC 239.

While the five-second flying knee knockout brought the MMA community’s love for flying finishes to the forefront of the conversation, the passion has always been there. According to the UFC, 25 flying knee finishes took place in the promotion’s history before Masvidal became a viral superstar.

Knees aren’t the only visually pleasing flying finish variety. What about a flying Superman punch? And, who doesn’t love a good flying triangle?

Lucky for violence enthusiasts, a video compilation published by the UFC on Tuesday shows 10 of the promotion’s craziest flying finishes – of all variations. For those who haven’t seen these finishes, we won’t spoil who won or how – but the compilation includes:
