4 Minute ReadRoberto Soldic vs. Khaos Williams Prediction: Will Soldic Send Khaos Williams Packing at UFC 332?
Few UFC debuts arrive with Soldic's combination of experience and expectations. The former KSW champion has already compiled a 21-4 professional record and owns a knockout victory over future UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis.
Williams provides an immediate test of whether that power translates. He has nine knockouts himself and enters off a first-round stoppage victory, creating one of the main card's most dangerous striking matchups.
Roberto Soldic vs. Khaos Williams Recent Results
Roberto Soldic (21-4)
Soldic arrives in the UFC with 18 knockout victories, accounting for 86% of his professional wins. Eleven of those finishes have come in the opening round, and only four of his 25 MMA bouts have reached the judges.
His résumé includes a TKO victory over Du Plessis in their 2018 KSW rematch after losing their first meeting. Soldic has also gone 4-0 as a professional boxer with four knockouts, further underlining the power and technique behind his striking reputation.
The largest concern is activity. His most recent MMA appearance came in February 2025, leaving him with a 590-day gap between MMA fights entering his UFC debut.
Khaos Williams (16-5)
Williams reminded the welterweight division of his own finishing ability in May when he stopped Nikolay Veretennikov with strikes at 3:31 of the opening round.
Nine of Williams' 16 wins have come by knockout, with eight first-round finishes. He lands 4.97 significant strikes per minute but absorbs 5.34, while his significant strike defense sits at 41%. That combination has produced plenty of explosive fights but could be dangerous against a puncher of Soldic's caliber.

Roberto Soldic vs. Khaos Williams Prediction
There is obvious uncertainty surrounding any UFC debut, especially after nearly 20 months away from MMA competition. Soldic has fought at a high level outside the promotion, but Williams is an experienced UFC welterweight with the power to punish a slow start.
The matchup itself still points toward Soldic's biggest strength. Williams has built much of his own success around standing exchanges rather than forcing opponents into extended grappling contests, which should give Soldic repeated opportunities to establish his boxing.
Williams' defensive numbers are difficult to ignore. Allowing 5.34 significant strikes per minute with a 41% defense rate is dangerous against virtually anyone, but especially against a fighter who has stopped 18 professional opponents.
Soldic also does not require sustained volume to change a fight. Eleven first-round finishes and an 86% career knockout rate illustrate how quickly his power can end an exchange.
Williams remains the primary risk because he can produce the same sudden ending in the opposite direction. Soldic cannot afford to treat the UFC debut as a showcase and recklessly walk into Williams' right hand.
Even with that danger, the method price remains attractive relative to a -250 moneyline. If Soldic justifies his favorite status, a striking stoppage is overwhelmingly the most natural route.
Roberto Soldic vs. Khaos Williams Best Bet
- Pick: Roberto Soldic to Win by KO (-125) Check out these best odds at FanDuel Sportsbook
Soldic's finishing history and Williams' willingness to exchange make the knockout prop preferable to laying -250 outright. The UFC debut introduces uncertainty, but the stylistic matchup should consistently put Soldic in positions to use his best weapon.
