ONE Fight Night 10: What’s At Stake For Roberto Soldic In ONE Championship US Debut Event

Add as a preferred source on Google

Following an anticlimactic no-contest in his debut at ONE on Prime Video 5 last December, Roberto "Robocop" Soldic returns to the Circle next week for the opportunity of a lifetime.

Roberto Soldic meets former ONE Welterweight World Champion Zebaztian Kadestam at ONE Fight Night 10: Johnson vs. Moraes III this Saturday (May 6) when the promotion moves West for the first time at the sold-out 1stBank Center in Colorado.

"Robocop" solidified himself on the European MMA scene when he became a two-division champion in Europe's largest promotion, KSW. And with 17 knockouts in 20 professional victories, it's clear to see how his reputation came to be.

This weekend, however, he'll stand in front of a new American fan base. And with a dance partner possessing the credentials of Kadestam, who brings 12 knockouts in 14 career wins, it shouldn't take long for the crowd to get into the matchup.

In what is predicted to be a slugfest for the ages, and in what Kadestam called "the greatest fight in welterweight history," this contest leaves plenty for the victor to capture, and more so for the Croatian.

If Soldic is victorious over "The Bandit" at the 1stBank Center, it would mark a milestone in his career. With his Swedish aggressor being a former ONE Welterweight World Champion, the opportunity to not only win but do so decisively will propel the 28-year-old up the division.

After all, this welterweight matchup has already been rumored as a ONE Welterweight World Title eliminator, so all the marbles are well and truly on the line for the victor.

Should Soldic showcase another signature performance that made him the hottest free agent before signing with ONE, there will be a whole new audience behind him as he makes his bid clear for the welterweight gold.

ONE Fight Night 10: Johnson vs. Moraes III will take place this Saturday (May 6) and fans in India can catch all the action from 5:30 AM IST on Star Sports Select 2 or Disney+ Hotstar.
