When Croatian mixed martial arts sensation ‘Robocop’ Roberto Soldic came to ONE Championship, he had but one thing on his mind, and that was to win a world title with the world’s largest martial arts promotion.

But after his disastrous ONE Championship debut last December against Murad Ramazanov, one that ended in a No Contest following an accidental groin shot that ended matters early, Soldic’s rise was slightly derailed.

That being said, the goal for Soldic has not changed. He is still as determined as ever to complete his conquest to wear ONE gold around his waist.

In a recent interview with ONE Championship, Soldic reiterated his desire to win a world title with the promotion. ‘Robocop’ said:

“I want to be a ONE World Champion badly. This is really a big thing for me, and I will try to finish as always.”

Roberto Soldic is scheduled to make his second appearance in ONE Championship, opposite former ONE welterweight world champion ‘The Bandit’ Zebaztian Kadestam. The two knockout artists will lock horns at ONE Fight Night 10: Johnson vs Moraes III on Prime Video.

The event will broadcast live from the 1stBank Center in Colorado on May 5th, and marks the historic first-ever on-ground U.S. event for ONE Championship. As always, the event will also stream live to fans in the United States and Canada with an active Prime Video subscription.

If Robocop is able to dispatch Kadestam in impressive fashion, it could put him directly in line for a world title shot at welterweight.

The reigning ONE welterweight world champion is Christian ‘The Warrior’ Lee. But the Singaporean-American superstar is still doubtful for a return this year, following the tragic passing of younger sister Victoria in late 2022. ONE Championship has considered inaugurating an interim world title in his absence.

Roberto Soldic could very well earn a shot at an interim world title with a win over Zebaztian Kadestam.
