Roberto Soldic compares his new UFC contract with what he
earned in One Championship
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.”
Roberto Soldić says his UFC deal Is “not
even close” to what he was making with ONE Championship:„The contract expired, and yeah, it is what it is. But I’m happy
now with the UFC. It’s a good offer, and I want to stay here.“
