Flying knees were all the rage at UFC 189 at the MGM in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

First up, UFC bantamweight Thomas Almeida improved to 20-0 with a second-round knockout of Brad Pickett with this sick flying knee:

Two fights later on the card, Jeremy Stephens stunned Dennis Bermudez with this awesome flying knee in the third round:

Stephens won by TKO after the fight was called when he pounced on Bermudez.

How will the UFC choose between those as the knockout of the night? Better yet: which flying knee did you enjoy more?
