Two beautiful flying-knee KOs in Dana White’s Contender Series had UFC fans in awe

Dana White’s Contender Series gives up-and-coming MMA fighters a chance to wow the UFC boss and earn a fight contract that could change their lives.

The best way to accomplish that is to win in stunning/violent fashion, which is exactly what Aalon Cruz did Tuesday night in Las Vegas.

And Dana White, who was sitting cageside, absolutely loved it.

With just under 30 seconds in his fight with Steven Nguyen, Cruz fired off a beautiful flying knee that immediately knocked Nguyen out and gave Cruz an impressive win and likely a contract with the UFC.

Check out how sneaky and powerful this knee was:
