Zebaztian Kadestam looking to put on a show against Roberto Soldic

At ONE Fight Night 10 on May 5, former ONE welterweight world champion Zebaztian Kadestam will face arguably the division’s most exciting contender, Roberto Soldic.

The fight is a classic matchup between one of the most experienced fighters in the division taking and the new blood who is looking to climb up the rankings.

Roberto Soldic arrived in ONE Championship with a lot of hype after his dominant run in KSW, which saw him become a double champion. He hasn’t been able to showcase his skills inside the circle as of yet after his promotional debut ended in a no contest due to a groin strike.

When looking at both men’s fighting styles, this is guaranteed to be a great contest for the fans. ONE Fight Night 10 will be the promotion’s first-ever event in the United States and Zebaztian Kadestam is excited to once again get the opportunity to put on a show on the biggest stage possible.

In an interview with the promotion, he said:

“I’ve been on the first Prime Video show, and now I’m on the first U.S. show. I’m happy that I get the opportunity to be on the bigger cards. I think my style suits well for entertainment if they match me well, and that’s what I’m about. It’s not only about winning, it’s about putting on a good show.”

Ever since Roberto Soldic’s signing with ONE Championship was announced, former world champion Zebaztian Kadestam has had a potential fight with the Croatian on his mind.

After producing his sixth win inside the circle with a first-round uppercut knockout of Iuri Lapicus at ONE on Prime Video 1, Kadestam made it clear that he is hoping to share the cage with the promotion’s high-profile signing.

With his incredible resume of knockouts, both Soldic and Kadestam are known for putting on great fights, making their upcoming contest at ONE Fight Night 10 a no-brainer.

Following Zebaztian Kadestam’s latest victory, the Swedish fighter spoke to the South China Morning Post about a potential matchup with Soldic, assessing whether it would be a No.1 contender’s fight:

“For sure. I feel like the division right now we should have Ramazanov [fighting for] the title and it should’ve been done already. I’m not sure what’s happening and then the winner... the winner should fight for the title.”
