Epic KO! Watch Cory Sandhagen posterize Frankie Edgar with flying knee in KOTY candidate

Boy oh boy did we get one of the cleanest flying knee knockouts of all time in the UFC Vegas 18 co-main event. The UFC’s #2 ranked 135-pounder, Cory Sandhagen, landed a crippling flying knee on former lightweight champion, Frankie Edgar, that put him out cold as soon as it landed. This nuclear knee took all of 28-seconds to come to fruition, and Sandhagen knew Edgar was out on impact and elected to walk away like a true boss player instead of delivering any unnecessary followup. This flying knee finish ranks right up there with Jorge Masvidal on Ben Askren, and Michael Page on Cyborg Santos. This is a clear candidate for knockout of the year!
