Hawaii's "Story Time" Soriano returns to action Saturday at UFC Fight Night

Kahuku’s Punahele Soriano will return to the Octagon this weekend, competing on the preliminary card of UFC Fight Night 267 in Texas. Soriano, 33, enters the welterweight bout riding a three-fight winning streak and carries a 12-4 professional record. Known for his power with seven career knockouts, the North Shore native will face Ramiz Brahimaj (13-5) in a matchup scheduled for Saturday at noon Hawaiʻi time. Nicknamed “Story Time,” Soriano said his journey into mixed martial arts began long before his professional career, tracing back to childhood dreams in Haleʻiwa. "I remember being asked what do you want to be when you grow up? And at the time I wrote, like, a kickboxer or a boxer or something, and for it to come to fruition like this is insane," said Soriano. After graduating from college and struggling to find direction, an invitation to train at the gym by Xtreme Couture teammate Dan Ige helped spark a turnaround that eventually led him to the UFC. "It was one of the first things that just like, lit my eyes up and like, gave me joy in a long time and I was just like crazy enough to kind of pursue it. And I'm just grateful," said Soriano. "I'm so lucky to be in this opportunity, changing my family's life. And it's all in like, I don't know, anything can happen from here on out. And like, I'm already so happy with everything that's happened so far. Everything else is a bonus."
