Roberto Soldic stunned the crowd at the Newport Center in Wales with a first round head kick knockout of UFC hopeful and Welsh fan favorite, Lewis Long, in the main event of Cage Warriors 87.
Soldic brushed off Long’s early attempt at a takedown and as he looked to close the distance the Croatian welterweight unloaded a thunderous left head kick that dropped Long face first onto the canvas.
Speaking to Dan Hardy in his post-fight interview, Soldic demanded a title shot on the back of his main event win.
Veteran welterweights Craig White and Matt Inman were always going to deliver in terms of a spectacle when they were matched for the co-main event.
