“It's going to be hard, it's not easy” - Roberto Soldic expects challenging ONE Championship career

At ONE on Prime Video 5, Roberto Soldic makes his highly anticipated debut in ONE Championship. The Croatian has become one of the biggest names in Europe. with lots of people touting him to go on to accomplish great things wherever he competes.

On December 2, ‘Robocop’ will face the undefeated Murad Ramazanov in a huge fight for the welterweight division. With either man solidifying themselves as the number one contender in the division with a win, this one can’t be missed. The event is live and free for North American fans with a Prime Video subscription.

Soldic’s signing with ONE Championship will bring a lot of eyes to ONE on Prime Video 5. The lethal striker was a two-weight world champion in his former promotion KSW.

In an interview with The MMA Superfan, Roberto Soldic spoke about his decision to move on from KSW and seek a new challenge somewhere else:

“I took the welterweight, middleweight belts [in KSW], and any [other] fight didn’t make sense because I beat everyone and I needed something different. And now ONE Championship is a really big different thing. And you can win all the belts in kickboxing, and Muay Thai but it's going to be hard, it's not easy. I want to check everything and we will see. I have a lot of fights in ONE Championship so I will stay for a long time.”

Before he steps foot in the cage, Roberto Soldic sat down with The MMA Superfan to talk about the hype and excitement around his upcoming fight:

"It's a little bit of pressure, but nothing special. I use this pressure in my fights and training. I put in hard work. I don't take time to relax. I'm focused on my goals all the time. And it's not easy, of course, but people expect always that I finish my opponents and everything. This is also more pressure than normal but I handle it well. I don't have any problems with that. I stay grounded, trying to be humble all the time with the guys, with the sparring partners, with my family, with my friends."
