Zebaztian Kadestam said:

"I’m ready for some violence. Let's go!"

Kadestam is the quintessential MMA brawler who prioritizes striking over the sport's other facets whenever he dons the four-ounce gloves.

'The Bandit' has seven wins in his ONE Championship career, with all of his promotional victories coming by way of concussive knockout.

The former ONE welterweight MMA world champion holds knockout wins over Luis Santos, Agilan Thani, Tyler McGuire, Georgiy Kichigin, Valmir Da Silva, Iuri Lapicus, and Croatian sensation Roberto Soldic.

His biggest win from his collection, though, might just be his stunning comeback over Soldic in Colorado.

The ONE Fight Night 10 matchup was poised as an absolute belter, and the two knockout machines did not disappoint on the pre-match notion.

Soldic was in clear control of the opening round and clocked Kadestam at will with lethal boxing combinations in the first five minutes.

Kadestam, however, found the button in the opening moments of the second and clocked Soldic with a short left hook that knocked 'Robocop' off balance.

After Soldic got back to his feet, Kadestam pressed on and connected with a couple of straight rights before ending the match with a flurry of unanswered blows.

ONE Fight Night 10 is available live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
