Punahele Soriano feeds on the ever-present threat of sudden violence.
The brick-fisted Hawaiian will attempt to build some meaningful momentum in the Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight division when he squares off with Uros Medic in a featured UFC Fight Night 249 attraction on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Soriano, 32, has lost four of his past six bouts. However, he made a successful first cut to 170 pounds on June 8, when he neutralized and outstruck Miguel Baeza to a unanimous decision in their three-round clash at UFC on ESPN 57.
