Soriano’s plans for his next fight have been temporarily ruined
due to an accident.
Soriano recently revealed that he is currently recovering from a
car accident. While Soriano originally planned to fight in July,
the Hawaiian was involved in a car accident. Soriano claims his car
was very slow when it was hit by an “old man” near a red light.
Soriano suffered a mild concussion and injuries to his neck.
‘I Was Kind of Embarrassed’
“I was like, I’m gonna look for a fight in July. I’m gonna start
getting healthy; I’m gonna start training hard, but I got into a
car accident,” Soriano told Home of Fight. “Some old man hit me. I
got a mild concussion, my neck was jacked up. I was kind of
embarrassed, actually because we were going slow, we were off a red
light and just kind of T-bones me. I didn’t see it. I was so
confused. It kind of messed me up.”
While Soriano (13-4) started his
UFC journey as a highly-touted finisher, he dropped four out of
his five outings between 2021 and 2023. However, “Story Time” has
since rebounded with four consecutive wins, displaying a more
measured approach. Soriano is coming off a unanimous decision win
over Ramiz
Brahimaj this past February.
