UFC 332 results: Roberto Soldic gets past octagon jitters to win unanimous decision over Khaos Williams

Roberto Soldic overcame early jitters in his UFC debut to earn a unanimous decision victory over Khaos Williams in a welterweight bout at UFC 332. The judges scored the fight 29-28, 29-27, and 29-27.

Soldic, a veteran free-agent signing touted as a key addition to the welterweight roster, looked stiff early as Williams landed a series of inside kicks and combinations that produced two flash knockdowns. The ONE Championship veteran was quick to his feet both times but appeared uncomfortable in the opening round's exchanges while Williams leaned on his octagon experience.

Soldic began finding his range in the second round, hurt Williams with a straight left to the body, and increased his output. He eventually moved the action to the mat, landing vicious ground-and-pound before the horn. In the final round, Soldic maintained control with effective striking and another takedown into back control as the fight concluded.

Post-fight, Soldic praised both the American crowd and Williams' toughness, noting the opponent's hard striking and experience. The victory marks a solid octagon debut for Soldic, who now looks to build momentum in the welterweight division while increasing his activity following lengthy stretches away from competition.
