"We are really going to beat up this guy" - Nick Hemmers confident Roberto Soldic will dominate Dagi Arslanaliev in Qatar

Legendary kickboxing coach Nick Hemmers is confident Roberto Soldic will walk away victorious in his welterweight MMA tie alongside Dagi Arslanaliev at ONE 171: Qatar.

'Robocop' makes his much-awaited return to the global stage against the Turk slugger inside the Lusail Sports Arena next Thursday, February 20. There, the former two-division KSW champion seeks to secure his first promotional triumph.

To make that dream a reality, Roberto Soldic has sought help and advice to sharpen his knockout tools from Hemmers, a veteran of the kickboxing realm who's guided a list of world-class fighters to the very pinnacle of the sport.

Hemmers, for his part, has been impressed by the Croatian's blistering abilities in the striking department.

In a clip uploaded on UFD Gym's YouTube channel, the Hemmers Gym head trainer, coach, and manager had this to say about Soldic's chances on fight night next week:

"We have two or three weeks more. So, I really love coming here and working with him, and we are really going to beat up this guy, you know. We're gonna go home with the victory, and after, we have a beer."
