King looks to have improved his striking defense since last time we saw him fight.
King closes the distance and clinches up with Sanninen, looking for a takedown. King pushes Sanninen against the cage but Sanninen circles to the side and manages to break the clinch.
King drops his hands for a split second and Sanninen immediately capitalizes on the opportunity by smashing a powerful hook into King face, sending his mouthguard sailing through the air, much to the delight of the crowd. Sanninen follows up with a right hand that knocks King into next week. He's out cold and this fight is over!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:25 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punches). Daniel Sanninen!
Daniel Sanninen managed to slip a mention for his sponsors, FinnFighter Nutrition (Five 160Q supps!), into his post fight interview.
