Soldić, former KSW champion, leaves ONE after 25 months in Asia

Roberto "Robocop" Soldić, an iconic figure in KSW, turns a new page after leaving ONE Championship. The Croatian double champion exits the Asian organization with a mixed record but an untarnished legacy.

To remember:

  • Roberto "Robocop" Soldić becomes a free agent after leaving ONE Championship.
  • The Croatian leaves ONE with a record of 2 losses and 1 win, including a KO against Dagi Arslanaliev.
  • His last boxing fight: a KO against Tomasz Adamek in September 2025.
  • Before ONE, he dominated KSW with 16 wins in 19 fights, including 15 by KO.
  • Soldić won two KSW titles (welterweight and middleweight).

Roberto Soldić, nicknamed "Robocop", has officially left ONE Championship to become a free agent. The 31-year-old Croatian, a former double KSW champion in welterweight and middleweight, thus ends a 25-month journey in Asia. His ONE tenure, marked by two losses and one win, concludes on a mixed note. Yet, it was a boxing performance that stole the show: in September 2025, he knocked out Tomasz Adamek by KO in Poland, showcasing his versatility and explosiveness.

A KSW Legacy Like No Other

Before joining ONE, Soldić wrote some of the most memorable chapters in KSW history. With a record of 16 wins in 19 fights, including 15 by KO, he dominated the European scene like few others. His two titles, won in two different weight classes (welterweight and middleweight), underscore his unrivaled dominance. The only blemish? A loss to Dricus Du Plessis, the current UFC champion, which he avenged just six months later.

A Unique Profile, Between MMA and Boxing

Soldić has distinguished himself by excelling in two disciplines. His journey in MMA with KSW, followed by boxing in ONE, demonstrates rare adaptability. While his Asian record leaves room for improvement, his European legacy is already legendary. At 31, he remains a major asset for any organization.

What’s Next?

Free from any commitments, Soldić could make a move to a major promotion like the UFC or stay in Europe. One thing is certain: his name continues to captivate combat sports fans.

Roberto Soldić leaves ONE Championship with his KSW legacy intact and a career that continues to captivate. His future looks as promising as his past fights.
Editor's Opinion
By Nakmen
Soldić, the Croatian "Robocop," is a bit like a 2000s Batman: a guy with everything going for him, but whose last Asian chapter left a taste of Jurassic Park’s "they forgot to feed him." Two KOs in boxing? Impressive. Two losses in MMA under ONE? That stings a little. His KSW record is pure OSS 117: 15 KOs in 19 fights, a dominance that reminds us Europe has its own legends. Too bad the UFC had its Dricus Du Plessis to spoil the dream. But hey, Soldić has always bounced back, like a Disney hero rising after a fall. Now a free agent, he could finally find his place in a major org. But watch out—at 31, he’ll need to prove he’s still got tricks up his sleeve. Otherwise, we might see him end up in a Star Wars sequel: "I’m too old for the Republic."
