KO king Sam making a real name for himself

RISING star Sam Patterson is never going back to 'The Future' after declaring: "I'm exactly where I want to be.

- 

While the Watford welterweight has long distanced himself from the moniker, ironically time has played a big role in his rapid ascent in the UFC.

After losing on debut in 2023 at lightweight, Patterson made the move to clock in at 170lbs and has never looked back.

Four first-round knockout finishes have followed-ranging from 2mins 3secs to 3mins 10secs.

Now firmly on the right nickname now. In my last few fights it has just been 'Sam Patterson' and I haven't had 'The Future' called out.
