Murad Ramazanov vs. Roberto Soldic didn’t go as planned at ONE on Prime Video 5.
Soldic’s ONE Championship debut was highly anticipated by MMA fans. The anticipation increased when he was matched up against undefeated Russian grappler Ramazanov.
Unfortunately, the welterweight showdown ended in anti-climatic fashion; it was declared a no-contest after the Russian landed a brutal knee to Soldic’s groin.
ONE Championship posted the ending sequence with the caption:
“Gonna feel that in the morning 😫 Roberto Soldic’s highly anticipated debut came to a shocking end at ONE on Prime Video 5! 🙏 #ONEonPrimeVideo5 #ONEChampionship #MartialArts #MMA”
Ramazanov vs. Soldic had welterweight title shot implications, so it’s difficult to tell what ONE Championship will decide to do now. The most likely outcome would be having the welterweight contenders rematch in early 2023.
However, both fighters could have issues staying ready for another month after grueling fight camps for ONE on Prime Video 5.
Murad Ramazanov reacts to the outcome against Roberto Soldic
Murad Ramazanov was looking forward to his breakout moment at ONE on Prime Video 5. The undefeated Russian holds a 3-0 promotional record and could've stolen Roberto Soldic’s hype. In the ONE on Prime Video 5 aftermath, Ramazanov reacted to the no-contest on Instagram by saying:
“Greetings to everyone ✊🏻 after yesterday's fight, emotions have settled down. This is the first such case in my career... I was well prepared, but what happened, already happened. I wish my opponent a speedy recovery, he is a strong fighter, respect to him and his team. We will definitely make a rematch. Best of luck to everyone. #Alhamdulullah in any position ☝🏼”
Ramazanov’s breakout moment will have to wait. The 27-year-old Russian holds a professional MMA record of 11-0, which seems to be underrated by the MMA community. It’s only a matter of time before he gets the opportunity to validate his world-championship aspirations.
Murad Ramazanov is an exceptional wrestler. The Russian has been honing his craft since he was a child, and it shows. Feast your eyes on this beautiful reverse-suplex move that Ramazanov performs on his training partner, it'll surely redefine your expectations of what's possible with strength and skill.
