Roberto Soldić, former 2 division KSW world champion and only man to ever knockout DDP, will make his highly anticipated UFC debut this weekend at UFC 332 against Khaos Williams. 21 wins. 19 by finish. 18 KOs.
Roberto Soldić, the former two-division KSW world champion, is set to make his UFC debut this weekend at UFC 332, where he will face Khaos Williams.
Soldić arrives in the UFC with a résumé built on finishing fights. He owns 21 wins, 19 of them by finish and 18 by knockout. He is also billed as the only man to have knocked out DDP, a line that has helped fuel the anticipation around his arrival in the Octagon after a run of title success in two KSW weight classes.
Williams, nicknamed "The OxFighter," brings a 16-5 record into the matchup. The 32-year-old orthodox fighter stands six feet tall with a 77-inch reach, or 196 cm. He is a pure striker by the numbers: he lands 4.97 significant strikes per minute at 39 percent accuracy, and he averages no takedown or submission attempts per 15 minutes. His fights are fought on the feet, which makes this a meeting of two knockout-minded fighters.
Why it matters
- Soldić's debut puts a high-profile regional champion in front of the UFC's global audience against an established striker.
- Williams, a 16-5 veteran of the promotion, offers a measured first test for the newcomer.
- Both men favor standing exchanges, so the matchup points toward a striking-heavy contest rather than a grappling-driven one.
The bout is on the card for this weekend at UFC 332.
