Roberto
\nSoldic<\/a> wants to stay in the
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> even though his pay has
\nsignificantly dropped.<\/p>\n

Soldic (21-4) recently signed with the UFC after his contract with
\nOne
\nChampionship<\/a> expired. He is now scheduled to fight Kalinn
\nWilliams<\/a> (16-5) in a middleweight bout at UFC
\n332<\/a> on Oct. 3 at Delta Center in Salt Lake City. The Croatian
\nrecently compared the pay between the two promotions.<\/p>\n

Roberto Soldic compares his new UFC contract with what he
\nearned in One Championship<\/h2>\n

Soldic has revealed that his UFC pay doesn\u2019t even come close to
\nwhat he was making in One Championship. He was a two-division
\nchampion in
\nKSW<\/a> before signing with One Championship in 2022 and was
\nnotably in talks with the UFC after parting ways with the Polish
\npromotion.<\/p>\n

Soldic claims that his previous offer from the UFC was better than
\nwhat he will make now. However, One Championship offered him a
\nslightly better deal, also luring him with the options of
\nkickboxing and muay thai bouts.<\/p>\n

While Soldic had a 10-fight contract with One Championship, he
\ncompeted just thrice, all in mixed martial arts, going 1-1 with one
\nno-contest. He says he is happy to have found a new home in the
\nUFC.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, not even close. But I\u2019m happy,\u201d Soldic told Ariel Helwani. \u201cI
\nthink I had the best offer [four years ago] as a fighter I had very
\ngood offer, but One had a little bit bigger offer. I took the
\nchance to go with One because they promised me some kickboxing
\nstuff, some muay thai stuff, I like this. They offered me 10
\nfights; I only do three; the contract expired. It is what it is.
\nI\u2019m happy now with the UFC; it\u2019s a good offer. I want to stay
\nhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Roberto Soldi\u0107 says his UFC deal Is \u201cnot
\neven close\u201d to what he was making with ONE Championship:<\/p>\n

“The contract expired, and yeah, it is what it is. But I\u2019m happy
\nnow with the UFC. It\u2019s a good offer, and I want to stay here.”
