UFC debutants, more often than not, go unnoticed – or at least generate low interest among the general MMA fan base.
However, 23-year-old rookie Kevin Vallejos was one of the big attractions at UFC Fight Night 254 this past Saturday. Vallejos (15-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) lived up to his hype with a first-round TKO win over SeungWoo Choi in a highly anticipated debut in Las Vegas.
The Argentinian generated a lot of expectations ahead of his first trip to the octagon, as he had viciously put away his opponent in the first round at Dana White Contender Series in September.
