That's one way to take control in your UFC debut.
Just minutes into a preliminary-card matchup at UFC Fight Night 114, Joseph Morales caught Roberto Sanchez with a monster right that sent his opponent falling to the mat.
Sanchez would briefly endure, but the momentum had clearly swung in his opponent's favor.
Morales got the fight back to the ground and came away with a first-round submission just moments later, completing a rear-naked choke to cap off his first UFC victory in impressive fashion Saturday.
