Media Has anyone ever came back from a Flying Knee/Spinning Hook Kick/Head Kick KO? (GIF HEAVY)

[blaseblase]

Beneil Dariush. This was before his run that got him into the top 5.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

FKL ate one from Barboza and came back to win the fight.

 

[blaseblase]

Aaron Pico is another one. He got KO'd by flying knee earlier in his career when they were trying to rush him. He's looking pretty damn good now.

 

[Legendary]

Definitely some good ones

Terrence McKinney got slept HARD by Bonfim's flying knee a few fights ago, so we can examine this phenomenon in real time. So far, he looks like his normal self, but we'll see if trading hammers in the pocket puts him down abnormally fast in the future.

I remember Hunt going to war vs Bigfoot and Dead'ing Big country after Junior Dos Santos hit that spinning kick.
Not sure it qualifies because it graced Hunts head and didnt hit flush.

 

[VinceArch]

Sean Sherk fought a few more times after he was hit by a flying knee by Penn.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Only one man, Chuck Norris

 

[boingyman]

Caol Uno continued a long career after Penn's flying knee. In fact he went to a draw against Penn at their rematch (even though I think Penn won).

Vitor did well after the Silva front kick KO.

 

[Skarsgard]

Condit's kick to GSP, although grazing, would knock out most people....not GSP though....

He even came back to beat Condit's ass for the rest of the round. That shit was nuts.

 

[Skarsgard]

Hunt fought for the interim belt a couple of fights after getting flatlined by JDS.

 

[LindyBrah]

Big Nog came back from having his lights pretty much shut off from a head kick by Heath Herring in the same fight, with Nog overcoming the adversity, and winning.

Modern refereeing would’ve never allowed this to continue LOL. This is Frankie vs Maynard 2 / Kongo vs Barry level

 

[Skarsgard]

I still can't believe that didn't get KOTN/POTN.

 

[Skarsgard]

Aaron Pico is another one. He got KO'd by flying knee earlier in his career when they were trying to rush him. He's looking pretty damn good now.

His chin is still a colossal question mark in his career though.

Alex E got murdered by CC but arguably had his best performances after.

 

[Private Whatley]

Impa Kasanganay recently won a million dollars in the PFL and is slated to face Johnny Eblen in a middleweight title unification bout.

 

[spinup]

Weili Zhang became UFC champ.

DC, although not strictly headkick KO, became double champ.

 

[Bobble Head]

Terry Martin had a semi decent although short run at 185 a while after James Irvin KO’d him with a flying knee at 205.

Cub Swanson also got KO’d by Aldo in like 8 seconds by a flying knee.

Mousasi, which Hall landed both of those in the same fight, within seconds of each other. And STILL couldn't put Moose in the shadow realm. That absolutely cements it for me that Moose has the best chin ever at MW, if not all of MMA, ever. Definitely top 3 chin all time for sure.
