Glendale \u2014 Sean King III had arguably the most violent finish on the Noche UFC card, when he landed a slam and follow-up punches on fellow newcomer Jessie Rosas as part of Saturday\u2019s preliminary card.<\/p>\n
King (7-0), known as \u201cThe King of Louisiana,\u201d was overlooked coming into the fight, with Rosas being the brother of UFC bantamweight Raul Rosas Jr. That certainly won\u2019t be the case moving forward, with the featherweight glibly saying \u201cnot bad at all\u201d after the performance.<\/p>\n
More than not bad, King may have set himself up for bonus money. Either way, he was clearly happy with his debut.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, to come in here, first time any of you guys have seen me, the whole UFC team have seen me. To come in here and do something like that for your first day on the job, it can\u2019t get no better,\u201d he suggested, speaking with Cageside Press post-fight.<\/p>\n
As for his message to the division, \u201cI\u2019m here. It\u2019s that simple, I\u2019m here.\u201d<\/p>\n
The call to fight Rosas came as King was preparing for the Contender Series. Instead, he jumped straight to the UFC, and never wavered in the decision to take the fight. \u201cI definitely did not hesitate. It couldn\u2019t have been any more perfect timing,\u201d King stated. \u201cI was already training, I was in shape. I was ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n
The one thing in the 36-second fight that surprised him? \u201cHow calm I was,\u201d said King. \u201cI wanted this since I was 14 years old. And just looking around, being in that cage and just taking it all in, it was real soothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
