It’s unlikely Dawid Smielowski will attract the attention that Jorge Masvidal got after knocking out Ben Askren at UFC 239.
However, the undefeated Polish lightweight presented a brutal flying knee of his own Friday, when he flattened Damian Zorczykowski at Babilon MMA 11.
Midway through the third round, Smielowski and Zorczykowski rose to their feet from the grounded position against the cage. Zorczykowski broke Smielowski’s clasp, before missing on a heavy head kick. The whiffed attempt caused Smielowski to stumble backward, as a tired Zorczykowski stumbled his way along the cage.
With just seconds remaining in the fight, Smielowski, who wasn’t even in the camera frame, launched himself across the cage and through the air.
Visibly exhausted, Zorczykowski was a still target – a sitting duck, of sorts. Smielowski’s knee drilled Zorczykowski square on the button, resulting in one of the best flying knee knockouts of 2019.

With the victory, Smielowski continued his undefeated streak of finishing opponents inside the distance.
