Roberto Soldic’s octagon debut at UFC 332 against Khaos Williams went just as Soldic would have wanted to announce his arrival in style.
Fight recap
Both fighters had their moments in Round 1, but Khaos Williams had the bigger ones. He stunned Roberto Soldic and dropped the former two-division KSW titleholder twice. However, “Robocop” survived the early storm and, at the end of the round, scored a quick takedown and then controlled Williams for the remainder of the frame.
In Round 2, the UFC newcomer regained his footing and appeared to be in a flow state after the reset. He picked Williams apart with body shots, head kicks, and combinations, eventually stunning Williams. As a wobbly “The Oxfighter” collapsed, Soldic remained patient while landing heavy shots from full mount.
Round 3 was another dominant round for Soldic. The 31-year-old remained patient while still having plenty left in the tank. He stunned Williams several times before taking him down in the second half of the final stanza and punishing him on the ground.
Although Williams showed incredible toughness and found a way back to his feet, he didn’t have enough left in the tank to finish Soldic.
Official decision: Roberto Soldic defeated Khaos Williams by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-27, 29-27) at UFC 332.
