Roberto Soldić defeated Khaos Williams by unanimous decision at UFC 332 in Salt Lake City, with scores of 29-28, 29-27 and 29-27. The result came in Soldić's UFC debut.
Roberto Soldić opened his UFC career with a win, taking a unanimous decision over Khaos Williams at UFC 332 in Salt Lake City on October 3. The judges scored the bout 29-28, 29-27 and 29-27, giving Soldić a clear if not dominant debut victory.
The result marks a successful promotional arrival for Soldić, who stepped into the Octagon for the first time against a durable and dangerous opponent. Two of the three judges saw it as a two-round sweep, while the third gave Williams one round.
Khaos Williams
Williams, 32, entered the bout with a record of 16-5-0. The Orthodox fighter stands six feet tall at 183 cm and carries a 77-inch reach, or 196 cm. His calling card is volume and power on the feet. Williams lands 4.97 significant strikes per minute at 39 percent accuracy, numbers that reflect a fighter who prefers to stand and trade.
He rarely looks for grappling exchanges. Williams averages zero takedowns and zero submission attempts per 15 minutes, which made the fight a test of striking and range for the newcomer. The loss adds a sixth defeat column entry to his ledger, though his 16 career wins show he remains a tough out for anyone.
Why it matters
- Soldić begins his UFC tenure with a win over an established striker, an important first step for any fighter moving in from another promotion.
- The decision came without a finish, so Soldić's debut leaves questions about how his game translates over longer stretches against UFC-level durability.
- For Williams, the defeat interrupts his momentum and puts pressure on his next outing to stay relevant in a crowded division.
The split in the scorecards, with one judge awarding Williams a round while the others did not, suggests the contest was competitive in stretches even as Soldić controlled the outcome.
