Introducing Roberto Soldic: Europe’s most intimidating MMA prospect

KSW welterweight champion Roberto Soldic says he can feel his opponents’ fear as soon as he lands a clean punch on them.

“Robocop” cemented his status as one of the breakout talents of 2017 with his stoppages of UFC hopeful Lewis Long and then KSW welterweight champion, Borys Mankowski. A spectacular head kick stopped Long in 40 seconds in front of his passionate home support in Newport, Wales. Two months later in Katowice, Poland, Soldic forced Mankowski to retire from their KSW title bout before it entered the championship rounds.

The Croatian hadn’t even celebrated his 23rd birthday by the time he dethroned Mankowski on the champion’s home soil, but he’s made a habit of overcoming the odds throughout his career.
