News Roberto Soldic signs with ONE



Maybe Cro Cop is thinking that ONE can recreate the Pride vibes where he was winning kickboxing and mma titles, but the sport has changed alot since then and is more centralized. But higher weigh class Muay Thai is such an abysmal wasteland that one of us could probably make the top 10 with a couple months of dedicated training
 
I figured this was where he'd end up, didnt really get hopes up he'd go to UFC.

Dont blame him for taking the bag either, just dont try and pretend like One has the best guys and is biggest org and you're going there to be the best in the world, like come on dude. You got paid more and maybe you can do some kickboxing and try other things and thats perfectly fine.

Using this logic, every Asian sports league should be the biggest and best in the world, hence why I watch the CBA over the NBA and the Chinese soccer league over Champions League

Check out my new thread and get a reality check
 
Soldic, dude, just come out and say you took the most money for the easiest fights. Anyone with a brain already knows that's the deal, why play pretend?
 
Well that is a bummer. Was hoping for him to sign to UFC.
 
so we'll see him fight once and then complain after 2 years about not getting fights?
 
Great signing by ONE tho. They have no good young fighters at 185 except the champ.


Hopefully ONE signs a couple of fresh guys around Soldic's weight

Well it sounded like he was very interested in other aspects of combat fighting and ONE is offering him those opportunities. But at the same time he is basically saying he cleared KSW out(which he did) but ONE doesn't have hardly anything to offer him. He should clean out ONE very quickly. Also it kind of sounded like he fell for the old wine and dine treatment the ONE gave him. Great for ONE but I'm not sure how fulfilled Soldic will be from an MMA standpoint after a few fights.

I'm hoping this is short like 3 or 4 fight deal with expiration date on the contract. The guy really should be in the UFC.

I wouldnt hold my breath, it has been notoriously difficult to get out of ONE contracts in the past.
 


at least they are planning to do an event in Croatia soon.

I know, but damn really wish to see him against some top UFC guys. A lot of interesting fight for him and us fans in the UFC.

Ya if it’s the usual ONE treatment, we will see him fight once a year, with every other year being some nonsense kickboxing/mixed rules bout

The only person to blame is the UFC. If they want anyone, they can easily afford to pay them. They are more focused on finding cheap talent through contender series than actually collecting the best fighters in the world. If ufc offered a little more money he would be there. But they can afford to run 3 contender series shows with his salary and ppl will still believe they have the best fighters anyway so why does it even matter?
