Before joining ONE Championship, Croatian knockout striker Roberto Soldic held two KSW world championship titles in different divisions. The 28-year-old is a tough opponent, so Kadestam of Sweden will have to be at the top of his game. After his successful stint in KSW, where he won both titles, Roberto Soldic entered ONE Championship with a lot of anticipation.

Given the fighting philosophies of the two men, the viewers may be sure of a thrilling match. Zebaztian Kadestam is pleased to once again have the chance to put on a show on the greatest stage possible at ONE Fight Night 10, which will be the promotion’s first-ever event in the United States.
He stated in an interview for the promotion, “I’ve been on the first Prime Video show, and now I’m on the first U.S. show. I’m happy that I get the opportunity to be on the bigger cards. I think my style suits well for entertainment if they match me well, and that’s what I’m about. It’s not only about winning, it’s about putting on a good show.”
Zebaztian Kadestam believes that the contest with Roberto Soldic will have significant stakes: “The winner should fight for the title.”

Speaking to ONE, he said, “This is the biggest and the best fight I could imagine. This is going to bring out the best from both of us. This is the best fight in welterweight history, for sure. This is going to be crazy, I promise you that. Man, if nobody is going to sleep in this one, I’ll be disappointed. I get chills when I think about it!”
The South China Morning Post interviewed Zebaztian Kadestam after his most recent triumph to discuss a potential fight with Soldic and to determine whether it would be a No. 1 contender’s battle. Kadestam responded that he believes that Ramazanov should already be competing for the division’s championship at this point and that he’s not sure what’s going on, but after that, the victor ought to challenge for the championship.
When he was unable to demonstrate his abilities during his initial entrance inside the circle, fans have been eagerly awaiting Soldic’s second appearance there.
The fight fans anticipated from “Robocop” after his signing was made official in August of last year will undoubtedly occur when he squares up against Kadestam in front of American supporters in Broomfield, Colorado.
