A variety of superstars have switched between sports in the Circle, with many finding success in doing so, and “Robocop’s” 4-0 boxing slate showcases that he has the skills to do well in the striking-only ranks.
#2 He’s A Knockout Machine
The most exciting thing about Soldic is his incredible finishing ability. The hard-hitting martial artist has closed out 18 of his 20 wins in the all-encompassing sport before the final bell. 17 of those have come by knockout – 9 in the first round, 4 in the second, and 4 in the third.
That shows that the Croatian star packs power in the later rounds, making him a threat from the first bell to the last. He will certainly bring that heavy artillery into his ONE debut, as he eyes becoming the first fighter to break Ramazanov’s perfect 11-0 record.
