#4. Jeremy Miado's stunning flying knee KO (ONE Championship: Age of Dragons)
ONE Championship strawweight fighter Jeremy 'The Jaguar' Miado definitely has a place in MMA history. The crafty Filipino scrapper produced one of the cleanest, most devastating flying knees you'll ever see.
What makes the KO legendary is how unexpected it was. Miado's fight with China's Miao Li Tao was a frenetic grappling affair. It's the closest you can get to the grappling equivalent of a boxing brawl with reversals after reversals and submission attempts after submission attempts. Both fighters were throwing everything but the kitchen sink on the ground.
After a brief separation on the feet, Miao pushed forward, throwing caution to the wind. It was then that Miado, true to his moniker 'The Jaguar', leapt into the air like a feline and caught his opponent flush with a knee to the jaw. Miao dropped to the floor like a sack of potatoes. The KO was akin to Bellator's Michael 'Venom' Page's Matrix-like flying knee KO of Evangelista Cyborg.

#3. Superbon Banchamek's upsets the legend Giorgio Petrosyan (One Championship: First Strike)
If you thought ONE atomweight queen Janet Todd's headkick KO was violent, wait till you see this. The relatively unknown Superbon Banchamek shocked the kickboxing world by sending the Giorgio 'The Doctor' Petrosyan to the shadow realm with this stunning kick.
Petrosyan, seen as one of the best pound-for-pound kickboxers of all time, entered ONE Championship with an air of mystique around him. Having only lost twice in over 100 fights, the multi-time world champion was the heavy favorite to win. Petrosyan's surgical precision and untouchable defense were key to dismantling Superbon.
But the Thai fighter had other plans. The grizzled Thai answered Petrosyan's bullying offense with his own. It was back-and-forth in the first round. By the early seconds of the second, however, Superbon had done the unthinkable. Superbon landed a classic left hook-high kick combination in the pocket as Petrosyan stepped out. The legendary Armenian-Italian dropped to the floor like he was shot by a gun. It was iconic in every sense of the word.
