However, securing his first victory under the promotion's banner was anything but smooth saling for Soldic as Arslanaliev came out firing, flooring the Croatian with hard overhand right.

Despite the early adversity, Soldic weathered the storm and fought his way back to his feet. Just as the Turkish wrecking ball attempted a body kick, "Robocop" countered with a perfectly timed left hook — delivering a knockout blow completely rendered his opponent unconscious.

Roberto Soldic wants to run it back with Zebaztian Kadestam

Roberto Soldic has made it clear that his sights are set on the two-divison king Christian Lee's ONE welterweight MMA world championship.

However, before he pursues that coveted title, the Croatian hard-hitter is determined to even the score with former divisional world champion Zebaztian Kadestam.

In his post-fight interview with color commentator Mitch Chilson at ONE 171, Soldic specifically called out Kadestam for a rematch.

It can be recalled that two initially crossed paths at ONE Fight Night 10 in May 2023, where Kadestam shocked the world by knocking out Soldic in the second round.

Before he turns his attention to Lee, Soldic wishes to erase his painful memory at the hands of Kadestam.
