Joe Solecki talks upcoming UFC Austin fight and birth of his son
Joe Solecki has never been happier in his life and he’ll be approaching UFC Austin with so much love and happiness.
In July, Solecki and his wife welcomed their son Silas James Solecki into the world and now the loving couple has a family of four.
Right after the birth of Silas, Solecki, his wife, his daughter and his new born son moved into a new house to be closer to the brand new gym that Solecki trains out of.
Now with a great loving family, a beautiful new home and a great gym, Solecki feels like everything is perfect in his life and he’s looking to add another UFC victory to great 2023.
Solecki’s personal life as obviously been great this year and a win at UFC Austin will make him 2-0 on the year to make his work life great as well.
Earlier this year, Solecki picked up a submission win over Carl Deaton in February to make the North Carolina native 5-1 in his UFC career.
With the great start to his career now comes a big opportunity as Solecki will face his toughest competition to date when he takes on Drakkar Klose at UFC Austin.
Klose is veteran and has been very successful throughout his UFC career as he’s posted a 7-2 record within the promotion.
Typically, fighters have idea of how fights may play themselves, but for Solecki, he feels this fight can go anywhere so he’s been planning for anything as he’s anticipating a great fight from a great opponent inside of the octagon.
One thing is for certain and that is that Solecki is planning to bring home another win in the hopes of setting himself up for what could be a big year in 2024.
