Booked for May 6 event
Williams will face the debuting Rolando Bedoya in a welterweight matchup at the UFC event scheduled for May 6, C.C. Legaspi of ESPN Deportes reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams fell to Randy Brown back in May, which dropped his UFC record to a still-respectable 4-2. He now draws a 14-1-0 debutant who hasn't tasted defeat since 2015 and trains out of the same camp as former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira in Brazil. Williams' body of work and high striking volume should earn him some respect, but this is a tough fight to handicap against a lesser-known regional champion.

Drops split decision in Phoenix
Williams lost to Randy Brown via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 28-29) at UFC 274 on Saturday in Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
This was a tale of two separate fights. Williams was easily the better man in Round 1, pounding Brown and nearly earning the stoppage. It was all downhill from there. Williams did score a knockdown in the latter stages of Round 3, but Brown was the far more technical man over the course of the final ten minutes, and Khaos appeared to be out of sorts. This shouldn't come as much of a surprise, because Williams was always going to have difficulty winning fights if his power shots aren't landing. They did in the opening frame, but rarely the rest of the way. Khaos' 4-2 mark in his first half-dozen UFC bouts is quite solid, but he's going to struggle to defeat better competition at 170 pounds if he isn't able to diversify his offense a bit.

Finishes off Miguel Baeza
Williams defeated Miguel Baeza via TKO (punches) at 1:02 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Williams is one-dimensional and employs an extreme boxing-based attack, but his power is 100 percent legitimate, and and gives him a chance in any fight in which he competes. Khaos started this one strongly, taking Round 1 before allowing Baeza back in the fight in Round 2. The two were fighting on even terms early in the final frame at which point Baeza doubled up on a leg kick -- which his corner told him not to do -- leaving Khaos a very slight opening to crush his opponent and set about the circumstances which ended the fight. Williams' ceiling is pretty low because his path to potential victory is typically non-existent if he isn't landing consistent power shots, but he's still just 27 years of age and has an excellent chin, the latter of which is a requirement if you employ the style of fighting he does. He'll also take home a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus for this victory.
