Is knee to the face effective as a takedown defence?

It's the main reason wrestlers started shooting as a counter, and from a mid-close range.

It is but they take shots on their knees so its illegal to do in MMA

Maybe on paper but it's so easy to just push him against the cage and do it again

No it isn't. Look up literally any 2023 numbers.

Can you point to a particular fight for this change in approach, like how people point to a few fights for the rise of the calf kick?

I can't remember the fighters, but the one that stands out to me was in WEC. One fighter shoots as an advancing movement from way too far out, the other just brings his knee forward and up to meet the skull. Wham bam KO ya ma'am. Search engine is only turning up flying knees, and the guy was definitely just standing.

yes and no, think of it this way you need to be precise, strong and have a great sense of timing for it to work (and if you miss you just given a slam/leglock), but if it works you'll most likely KO your opponent.

if you want to do it start drilling, just to avoid the luck factor

I think I remember Aldo throwing a knee like that but it didn't knock the guy out.

Nope. Would've been whenever it was airing on Versus. I know that's not much help.

Pretty sure they were both pale skinned dudes. Whether white, Asian, or whatever the fuck is beyond my age addled brain. Almost certainly in the lower weights too, but again not very helpful since WEC dropped most of the upper classes well before being folded into UFC.
