Roberto Soldic says fighting in the USA is ‘a dream come true’

Former KSW two-division champ Roberto Soldic is hyped for his opportunity to compete in the United States for the very first time.

'Robocop' made his ONE Championship debut last December. Unfortunately, his bout against Murad Ramazanov ended in a no-contest ruling.

The hard-hitting welterweight will now face Sweden's Zebaztian Kadestam at ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video this May.

Soldic claimed that it's a dream of his to fight in the U.S., which he relayed to ONE in an exclusive interview:

"I am super excited to fight outside Europe, and to fight in the USA is one of my dreams. So it’s a dream come true. I’m ready. I feel great."

Roberto Soldic reveals why he chose ONE Championship over other organizations

After deciding to leave KSW, Roberto Soldic had all of the world's top combat sports organizations seeking his services. In the end, the 28-year-old chose to sign with ONE Championship.

Soldic said on The MMA Hour:

“When I finished the KSW contract, I had so many [offers], including UFC, ONE Championship, and I choose ONE Championship for sure because it’s the biggest martial arts [organization] in the world."

"They give me opportunity to take all the belts - kickboxing world champion, Muay Thai world champion, MMA world champion, also boxing world champion. I want to create something for my people, my own legacy, so I chose ONE Championship, for sure.”

His upcoming opponent is a veteran of ONE Championship, amassing a record of 6-4 thus far. Zebaztian Kadestam's most notable wins have come against Tyler McGuire and Iuri Lapicus. Incredibly, all six of his wins inside the Circle have come via stoppage. Soldic is a bonafide finisher in his own right, with 18 of his 20 pro victories coming by way of finish.
