Croatian knockout artist, 'Robocop' Roberto Soldic, will have the eyes of the world on him when he makes his ONE Championship debut. ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong has high praise for the southpaw striker.

During ONE on Prime Video 4 post-fight interviews, Sityodtong said:

"Roberto Soldic has a lot on his hands, a lot on his plate. Is Roberto as good as they say? Obviously, a two-division KSW champion, arguably the best pound-for-pound fighter out of Europe full stop, today."

Check out the interview below:

Soldic was a two-division champion while competing in KSW. Incredibly, he has won 85% of his fights by way of KO/TKO. The 27-year-old is a feared striker for good reason.

The Croatian fighter will make his ONE debut at ONE on Prime Video 5 on December 2. Soldic will have a high-stakes showdown against undefeated Russian Murad Ramazanov.

The winner could be next in line to face 'The Warrior' Christian Lee for his ONE welterweight world championship. Lee earned his second world title in ONE just this past weekend at ONE on Prime Video 4.

'The Warrior' previously said in an interview with ONE:

"Roberto, I know there's been a lot of talk about him. A lot of hype coming from behind him. So I think that if he wins, and he gets a good finish over Ramazanov, he's definitely next in line.”

Roberto Soldic is very happy to be in ONE Championship

The Croatian-born fighter relinquished his dual world titles in KSW for an opportunity to compete in ONE Championship. While speaking to Ariel Helwani, Soldic explained the reason why:

"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... I want to create something for my people, my own legacy, so I chose ONE Championship for sure.”

ONE is the only place the southpaw can venture to hold world titles across multiple sports. Roberto Soldic is aiming for the triple crown, which no one has ever accomplished. Soldic wants to earn world championships in MMA, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai in ONE.

First, Roberto Soldic must get past Murad Ramazanov at ONE on Prime Video 5, an event that will air on US primetime on December 2. This clash can be enjoyed live and for free on Prime Video for all Amazon Prime Video subscribers in North America.
