Roberto Soldic first ONE Championship fight announced against Murad Ramazanov on December 3

In August, former KSW two-division champion Roberto Soldic announced that he had signed with ONE Championship. Fans immediately began to speculate as to when they would see the Croatian superstar make his first appearance inside the circle.

During the broadcast of ONE on Prime Video 2 on Friday evening, the promotion announced that Roberto Soldic will make his promotional debut against undefeated Russian behemoth Murad Ramazanov. The two will square off on December 2 (US primetime) when ONE returns to the Philippines for the first time in two years.

Sitting at 11-0 in his professional career, Ramazanov entered ONE Championship in early 2020. He has scored three straight wins against Bae Myung Ho, Hiroyuki Tetsuka, and former ONE welterweight world champion Zebaztian Kadestam, but will face the toughest test of his MMA career when he meets ‘Robocop’ in Manila.

Roberto Soldic enters the promotion with 20 career victories, including a staggering 17 by way of knockout. Primarily fighting for Polish promotion KSW, Soldic captured the organization’s welterweight and middleweight world titles before seeking greener pastures and greater competition. He’ll get just that with the Asian MMA organization that delivers high-octane action and is home to the very best strikers and grapplers in all of combat sports.
