'Robocop' Roberto Soldic has some strong supporters in his corner ahead of his ONE Championship debut. The former two-division KSW world champion will be making his long-awaited first appearance in the circle at ONE on Prime Video 5 on December 2.
'The Burmese Python' Aung La N Sang will be watching and supporting Soldic. While speaking to The MMA Superfan, Aung La discussed training alongside the Croatian-born fighter:
"You know I trained with him right? He came to our gym like a year ago. Roberto’s a good man. He’s got a strong, strong left hand, great striking, great counter, great footwork. I hope he does good."
Roberto Soldic is certainly a dangerous southpaw striker. The 27-year-old has won an impressive 85% of his fights by way of KO/TKO. Additionally, he held both middleweight and welterweight world titles while competing in KSW.
