Since his debut, Opacic has laid waste to every man that has stepped into the ONE circle with him. Opacic has earned four straight knockout finishes, all of which occurred in the second round.
Rade Opacic will face his toughest challenge when he enters the cage against Guto Inocente. As a storied veteran, Inocente has faced some of the sport's biggest names in his 17-year career. After appearances in Strikeforce, UFC, Glory, BRAVE, and KSW, Inocente made his ONE Championship debut in February, scoring a second-round knockout against Bruno Susano.
Rade Opacic talks about his heavyweight showdown with Guto Inocente at ONE 158
Heading into the biggest fight of his career, Rade Opacic spoke with ONE Championship to discuss his thoughts on facing Guto Inocente.
“[Inocente] has his own fighting style. He’s strong, and in kickboxing, no one has finished him," Opacic said. "He's durable. He can take a shot. He has good cardio. But he has also some some things that I see and that I can use against him. He has his hands down, he moves a lot, so he can throw some unpredictable things, those spinning kicks and everything. I will be ready for that."
Opacic will be looking to add another knockout to his resume but is preparing for a three-round war with Inocente.
"It would be best to beat him by KO, and I'm sure that if I hurt him, I'm going to go to finish it. But I'm going be in the best shape for this fight. If I knock him out, perfect. If we go three rounds, perfect also."
