Roberto Soldic says UFC pay ‘not even close’ to One Championship deal Roberto Soldic wants to stay in the Ultimate Fighting Championship even though his pay has significantly dropped. Soldic (21-4) recently signed with the UFC after his contract with One Championship expired. He is now scheduled to fight Kalinn Williams (16-5) in a middleweight bout at UFC 332 on Oct. 3 at Delta Center in Salt Lake City. The Croatian recently compared the pay between the two promotions. Soldic has revealed that his UFC pay doesn’t even come close to what he was making in One Championship. He was a two-division champion in KSW before signing with One Championship in 2022 and was notably in talks with the UFC after parting ways with the Polish promotion. Soldic claims that his previous offer from the UFC was better than what he will make now. However, One Championship offered him a slightly better deal, also luring him with the options of kickboxing and muay thai bouts. While Soldic had a 10-fight contract with One Championship, he competed just thrice, all in mixed martial arts, going 1-1 with one no-contest. He says he is happy to have found a new home in the UFC. “No, not even close. But I’m happy,” Soldic told Ariel Helwani. “I think I had the best offer [four years ago] as a fighter I had very good offer, but One had a little bit bigger offer. I took the chance to go with One because they promised me some kickboxing stuff, some muay thai stuff, I like this. They offered me 10 fights; I only do three; the contract expired. It is what it is. I’m happy now with the UFC; it’s a good offer. I want to stay here.” Soldic (21-4) recently signed with the UFC after his contract with One Championship expired.
