I notice this,and it bakes for some good counters if the opponent is attacking you.
Flying high sometime leads to loss of control,and a skillful player on the ground can change the angle of his comeback,to exploit your defense:Either being contraction of knee,to attack later;or contraction of elbows to protect the face.The best part to attack would be the body in this case,or the joints like shoulders and hips.It's still hard thing to attack a landing opponent,as he has the advantage of gravity with him.It will take a high level of accuracy and patience to do it.
