Roberto Soldić wins his UFC debut, defeating Khaos Williams and earning the 22nd victory of his professional career.
It was a shaky start in the opening round as he worked to find his distance and adjust to Williams. The second round was a completely different story.
Soldić took control, landing several heavy shots and coming close to finishing the fight on multiple occasions. Williams showed a great chin to stay on his feet as the pressure continued throughout the round. Two of the three judges scored the second round 10-8 in Soldić’s favor.
A great performance after settling into the fight, especially considering this was his first fight back at 170 pounds in five years.
“Robocop” moves to 22-4 and starts his UFC career with a win.
Svaka Cast Roberto. Bravo.
Soldic is a beast when you get knocked down and keep walking forward your opponent starts losing confidence…..robocop is a good nickname but terminator might be better
Theirs a Robocop already in the UFC, so not sure who keeps the name. The Brazilian middleweight has the same name and looked like one against Anthony Hernandez.
At least we saw one Croatian show up to fight with some heart yesterday
lol nice one.
Soldic needs to call out some top 10 guy so he gets a shot at Islam Makhachev. Solid combos and moving forward. I was confident in Roberto despite losing the 1st round.
I wasn’t confident after hearing Khaos’s coach talking about his fighter, and then round 1 goes the way it did, I really thought Khaos was going to win that fight.
It’ll be interesting to see who they match Soldic up with next? I really can’t see him getting one of the top fighters after that fight though.
How about he call out Jack Della or Belal Muhammad. A former champ and contender. It could boost him in the top 10.
