UFC signs former KSW double champion

UFC is the new home of a former KSW double champion.

Roberto Soldić, a two-time KSW champion, has officially joined the UFC. The 31-year-old Croatian fighter, known as "Robocop," will compete at the welterweight division. Hailing from Poland, Soldić formerly held the title of KSW double champion and has produced world-class fighters like Jan Blachowicz and Dricus Du Plessis. Despite considering a move to the UFC back in 2022, Soldić ultimately declined their offer due to a pay dispute.

After facing difficulties in ONE Championship, he is now prepared to take on the UFC. Throughout his career, Soldić has had success at both welterweight and middleweight, and has secured a knockout victory over former UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis. With his aggressive fighting style and knockout skills, Roberto Soldić is expected to make a significant impact in the UFC.
