By The Numbers: Murad Ramazanov vs. Roberto Soldic
A defiant Murad Ramazanov stands on the One Championship tracks, steadfast in his belief that he can derail an oncoming hype train.
The undefeated Dagestani standout will toe the line against former two-division KSW titleholder Roberto Soldic in an anticipated ONE on Prime Video 5 middleweight showcase on Friday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay, Philippines. Ramazanov steps into the cage with a perfect 11-0 record in tow. He last appeared at ONE “Winter Warriors 2,” where he took a three-round unanimous decision from Zebaztian Kadestam on Dec. 3. Soldic, meanwhile, enters his promotional debut on the strength of a seven-fight winning streak. He last fought on Dec. 18, when he punched out Mamed Khalidov in the second round of their KSW 65 headliner.
