The read
Two of the hardest hitters on the roster meet in a fight that has almost no path to a boring finish.
Soldic's power and volume of knockouts across a decade of regional and international competition make him a live threat from the opening bell, but Williams has faced tougher UFC-level competition and has his own one-punch equalizer.
This reads as an early finish for either man, with a slight lean to Soldic's broader finishing resume.
The matchup
This is a pure knockout-power collision and one of the most anticipated debuts of the year.
Soldic spent most of his prime fighting outside the UFC, but 18 of his 21 wins by knockout or TKO say the finishing ability travels regardless of the logo on the cage. Williams is the more tested UFC commodity and has the durability question of his own after two finishes in his last five fights, which raises the stakes on every exchange.
Whoever lands first and cleanest is likely to end this.

“Robocop”
Roberto 'Robocop' Soldic is a 31-year-old Croatian striker and a two-division KSW champion who spent nearly a decade terrorizing Europe's regional scene before signing with ONE Championship in 2022, where his run was interrupted by a no-contest debut and an upset knockout loss to Zebaztian Kadestam. He rebounded with a highlight-reel knockout of Dagi Arslanaliev at ONE 171 in February 2025, and finally arrives in the UFC — a promotion he passed on for years — against fellow knockout artist Khaos Williams.
