Knockout artist Roberto Soldic is taking his next opponent inside the circle very seriously.
On May 5, Soldic will look to score his first win under the ONE Championship banner, but that will be much easier said than done as he finds himself matched up against prolific finisher and former ONE world champion, Zebaztian Kadestam. In an interview with MMA Sucka, ‘Robocop’ discussed his mindset going into the ONE Fight Night 10 showdown, saying:
“I’m focused really on this guy [Zebaztian Kadestam] because he’s a good challenge. He’s a former ONE welterweight world champion.”
Zebaztian Kadestam will go into the bout on a two-fight win streak with both victories coming via first-round knockouts against Valmir Da Silva and the late Iuri Lapicus. In six career bouts under the ONE Championship banner, ‘The Bandit’ has an impressive 100% finish rate with all of them coming by way of knockout.
