King accepted the fight against Jesse on nine days' notice. The featherweight bout between them opened the event, as it was the first fight of the night. The fight didn't last a single minute as the debutant made quick work inside the octagon.

King ducked a jab and attempted a takedown. During the attempt, he picked Jesse up and viciously slammed him to the canvas, instantly shutting off ‘Tachidito’s lights and leaving him unconscious. ‘The King of New Orleans’ then followed up with three or four brutal ground-and-pound shots before the referee intervened and stopped the fight.

In his octagon interview. He expressed his desire to fight Ramiro Jimenez, against whom he was in talks to fight at this event, but the fight didn't get signed. 

“Look, I'm 7-0 now. I'm only 22 years old. I'm here to keep getting better. I was supposed to fight Ramiro Jimenez. He went running. If the UFC wants to make that fight next, we'll make it happen,” King said.

King then took a moment to thank his supporters and the UFC, specifically Sean Shelby, for allowing him to compete on the biggest stage in MMA.

“But look, all my people, I love y'all. None of this is possible without God. Jesus Christ is number one. And thank each and every one of y'all. Thank the UFC, Sean Shelby, for bringing me in,” King added.
