Two-division KSW champion Roberto Soldic has left the Polish promotion to sign with One Championship.
on Monday. Soldic, who held titles at 185 and 170 pounds in KSW, said his decision was motivated in part by the opportunity to compete for belts in other combat sports.
“I chose One because it’s the biggest martial arts promotion in the world," Soldic said."They give me opportunity to take all the belts: kickboxing world champion, muay Thai world champion, MMA world champion, also boxing world champion. So this makes me something new. I want to create something for my people, for my own legacy. So I chose One for sure.
“After I went to Singapore and I saw the atmosphere with Mr. Chatri [Sityodtong], how he treats the fighters, relationships, and he gave me the best offer. He said to me, ‘You can be a unique fighter and I will give you all the chances to take different belts from combat sports.’ So I do all sports. I want to do something different. … I want to hold the belts from all combat sports. Nobody has done this before. So this is, for me, the biggest challenge.
Soldic has won his last seven appearances — six via KO or TKO — under the KSW banner. He claimed welterweight gold with a third-round knockout of current UFC talent
