Roberto Soldic has proved in his career that he isn’t afraid of a challenge, even if it means competing at a different weight class.
Throughout his career in KSW, Soldic has emerged as one of the most exciting fighters in the world, leaving the promotion as a two-weight champion.
His signing with ONE Championship was a huge story and a massive gain for the promotion’s roster with Soldic not arriving just to take part as he wants to dominate his new home and claim multiple world championships.
After his debut inside the Circle ended in a massively disappointing but unintentional foul, Soldic will now get the opportunity to show ONE fans what he is all about when he faces Zebaztian Kadestam at ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video.

On May 5 at 1stBank Center, ‘Robocop’ has got a point to prove. In a recent interview with MMA Sucka, Soldic spoke about the competing at ONE Fight Night 10 and feeling healthy for his contest due to ONE’s stance on weight cutting:
“It’s a good opportunity for me. I’m very excited that I will be fighting now on the world stage in the United States.
"I’m super excited. I’m ready now because I don’t do weight cut, so I feel great. Great performance [in training], I’m training all the time. I eat good, good food.”
ONE Fight Night 10 is ONE Championship’s fifth Amazon card of the year and will be broadcast live and for free to all Prime Video subscribers in North America.

Roberto Soldic relishes the chance to showcase skills in highly anticipated ONE debut
Following his incredible run in Europe with KSW, Roberto Soldic arrived in ONE Championship as one of the promotion's highest profile signings to date.
With his highly-anticipated debut set for December last year, fans couldn’t wait to see ‘Robocop’ step inside the Circle for the very first time to face Murad Ramazanov.
In the fight, Roberto Soldic was unable to showcase what has made him a must-watch fighter throughout his career. After being grappled by Murad Ramazanov, he received an unintentional knee to the groin that ended the fight in a no contest after Soldic couldn’t continue.
At ONE Fight Night 10, the Croatian superstar will get a chance to put all those bad memories behind him and re-introduce himself.
On May 5 in Colorado, he faces the former champion Zebaztian Kadestam in what is sure to be a great fight. In an interview with the promotion, Soldic spoke about this upcoming clash between knockout artists:
“I was really sad that I didn’t show my skills [in my debut]. But now it’s time to show my skills because I have a fight on May 5 in America. It’s very good for me.”
