Overview
- The UFC roster listing for Soldic appeared on Friday and identifies him as an active welterweight, confirming his move from free agency into the promotion.
- Soldic arrives with a 21-4 record plus one no-contest and a heavy finishing rate, with 19 of his 21 MMA wins ending inside the distance including 18 knockouts.
- He is a former two-division KSW champion best known for a 2018 knockout of Dricus du Plessis, a win that boosts the pedigree of his resume for UFC fans.
- Since leaving ONE Championship in August he split his time between limited MMA outings for ONE and a professional boxing bout against Tomasz Adamek before returning focus to MMA.
- There has been no formal UFC press release about his debut and booking details are pending, so his first opponent, fight date and placement in the welterweight ranks remain to be set.
