Soldic is a UFC debutant, so every UFCStats field for him is empty and cannot be read as a weakness; this projection rests on his 21-4 pro record built as a two-division KSW champion with the bulk of his wins by knockout, plus his known profile as a compact, counter-punching southpaw with elite hand speed and one-shot power. The uncertainty is real: his ONE Championship run was marred by a leg-kick injury stoppage and a cramping no-contest, and he has never fought in the UFC cage, so confidence is capped for the debut. Williams, however, is close to the ideal stylistic opponent for a counter-puncher. He throws 5.81 significant strikes per minute at only 39% accuracy while absorbing 5.42 per minute with a 42% strike defense, the worst defensive number on this card. His approach is to walk forward and swing, which is exactly what a patient counter striker like Soldic wants. Williams' durability is a legitimate counter-argument: his UFC losses have come by decision (Randy Brown, Michel Pereira, Gustafsson) and one D'Arce to Bonfim, never by strikes, so a first-round blitz is less likely than a gradual accumulation. But Soldic's power at 170 is a different tier from the Veretennikov and Harris wins Williams built his highlights on. Grappling is a near non-factor: Williams averages zero takedowns, Soldic historically prefers to strike, so this is a pure striking exchange where the more accurate, more defensively responsible man should land the fight-ending shots by round two. Salt Lake City's altitude slightly raises the chance this goes late if Soldic's cardio issues from ONE resurface, which is the main path to a Williams upset.
