Ed Polo King is one to watch in RIZIN.

Professional MMA debuts don't come much better than RIZIN's DECADE event on New Year's Eve.

Such was the case with Japan's Ed Polo King, a 6'8" striker who fought on the main card against 1-3 seasoned RIZIN heavyweight Satoshi Kamiyama. King knocked out Kamiyama with a combination of knees and punches in the opening frame, sending his adversary tumbling to the canvas.

In an interview with Go Yamamoto after the fight, King emphasised that he's too early for world-level and is willing to improve step by step.

King Edokpolo I feel great. I don't satisfy and will train lot. I'm too early for world level. I will improve step by step. I train with Lutte avec frappe (Senegalese wrestling) partners. They will debut someday. Please looking forward it. #Rizin pic.twitter.com/CalxhF8jnh
