ONE Fight Night 10 results: Roberto Soldic knocked out by underdog Zebaztian Kadestam

Robert Soldic was one of the hottest free agents in 2022, but has had a rough stretch of time in ONE Championship thus far.

The ONE Championship woes continue for [autotag]Roberto Soldic[/autotag].

Part of the ONE Fight Night 10 main card, Soldic (20-4) was finished by [autotag]Zebaztian Kadestam[/autotag] (15-7) with a full-fledged striking onslaught at 0:45 of Round 2.

After a punch-heavy opening round between the two powerful strikers, Soldic was dropped by a right hand that marked the beginning of the end. Soldic made a valiant effort to survive, but as he picked himself up off the canvas, another heavy right hand landed.

A follow-up left hand crumpled Soldic again before a big knee drilled him right between the eyes (as the ONE Championship ruleset was in full effect). The bout was swiftly waived off mid-knee.

Soldic, 28, was one of the sports hottest free agents in 2022. After meetings with the UFC and other major promotions, Soldic elected to sign with ONE Championship. On a seven-fight winning streak, Soldic made his ONE Championship debut in December. His bout ended in a no contest after he struck in the groin.

Kadestam, 32, was a +416 average across major online sports books (per BestFightOdds). The victory Friday was his third win in a row. Kadestam has a 100 percent finishing rate with 13 of his 14 victories by knockout or TKO.

ONE on Prime Video 1: Watch Zebaztian Kadestam floor Iuri Lapicus in 57 seconds with vicious uppercut

Check out this vicious knockout in the opening bout of ONE on Prime Video 1.

ONE Championship’s first event on Amazon Prime Video started off with a bang.

In the opening bout of ONE on Prime Video 1, Sweden’s [autotag]Zebaztian Kadestam[/autotag] met Iuri Lapicus in the first of five MMA bouts scheduled for the event at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore.

Kadestam would not need long to add to his highlight reel of finishes under the ONE Championship banner.

A few moments after Lapicus secured a takedown and landed strikes on the mat, Kadestam got back to his feet and began looking for the opening to land something significant. At the 57-second mark, Kadestam found it when he landed a beautiful right uppercut that put Lapicus out cold.

Check out video of the finish below (via Twitter):

Kadestam makes in two first-round finishes in a row following a stoppage win over Valmir da Silva in February. The 10-fight veteran of ONE Championship improves to 6-4 with the promotion, with each of his wins coming by finish.

Lapicus is now winless in his last three outings, losing in the first round against Christian Lee, a no contest against Eddie Alvarez, and tonight’s result against Kadestam. Prior to his recent skid, Lapicus was undefeated in the first 13 fights of his pro career.

ONE Championship: Full Circle results – Reinier de Ridder dominates, taps fellow champ Kiamrian Abbasov

Kiamrian Abbasov’s quest to become a two-division ONE champion came up short Friday – well short.

[autotag]Kiamrian Abbaso[/autotag]v’s quest to become a two-division ONE champion came up short Friday – well short.

In the ONE Championship: Full Circle main event, middleweight and light heavyweight champion [autotag]Reinier de Ridder[/autotag] (15-0) retained his middleweight belt with a third-round submission of welterweight champ Abbasov (23-5), who had moved up to try to become a dual titleholder.

De Ridder took Abbasov down early in the first round. He omved to side control and unleashed ground and pound for much of the opening frame. In the second, it was more of the same. Late in the round, de Ridder worked for an arm-triangle choke and nearly got the finish, but Abbasov survived to see the third.

But in that round, after de Ridder again quickly got the fight to the canvas, his choke was not denied. Abbasov had to tap 57 seconds into the third. De Ridder got a $50,000 bonus to go along with his win.

Also on the card, former ONE middleweight champ Vitaly Bigdash picked up a unanimous decision over Aung La N Sang in their trilogy fight. La N Sang was strong on the feet, but Bigdash used takedowns throughout the fight to lead to submission attempts and won over the judges.

ONE Championship: Full Circle results included:

  • Champ Reinier de Ridder def. Kiamrian Abbasov via submission (arm-triangle choke) – Round 3, 0:57 – to retain middleweight title

ONE Championship 126: Shinya Aoki reaches submission milestone, finishes James Nakashima

Japanese MMA icon Shinya Aoki notched his 30th career submission by defeating James Nakashima at ONE Championship 126.

Japanese MMA icon [autotag]Shinya Aoki[/autotag] reached a career milestone as the former ONE lightweight champion notched the 30th submission win of his career at “ONE Championship 126: Unbreakable” in Singapore.

Matched against former LFA welterweight champion [autotag]James Nakashima[/autotag], Aoki (46-9) took charge of the bout early in the first round as, after some clinch work against the cage, “Tobikan Judan” leapt onto Nakashima’s (12-2) back before locking up a body triangle and following up with a rear-naked choke to claim the win at the 2:42 mark.

Aoki’s win saw him become ONE Championship’s all-time leader in submission finishes with eight, and extended his remarkable tally of overall submission finishes to 30. It also extended his winning streak as he continued his return to form following his title loss to Christian Lee in May 2019 with his third consecutive victory.

While one former champion shined in Singapore, it proved to be a nightmare for another ex-champ, as former welterweight titleholder [autotag]Zebaztian Kadestam[/autotag] was quickly taken down and submitted by rising Russian contender [autotag]Gadzhimurad Abdulaev[/autotag].

Abdulaev (6-0) secured an early takedown and immediately took the Swedish fighter’s back, locking in his position with a body triangle. Kadestam (12-6) attempted to fight the hands as Abdulaev worked for a rear-naked choke but, despite being prevented from lacing his arm under the former champion’s chin, Abdulaev simply switched to a face crank and applied the pressure to force the tap and secure an eye-catching first-round finish.

Also on the card, women’s atomweight contender [autotag]Meng Bo[/autotag] (17-5) continued her run toward a title shot with a unanimous decision over Brazil’s [autotag]Samara Santos[/autotag] (11-8-1), while Filipino striker [autotag]Lito Adiwang[/autotag] scored a one-punch knockout of Japan’s [autotag]Namiki Kawahara[/autotag] to bounce back into the win column.

Team Lakay’s Adiwang (12-3), who earned his spot on the ONE roster via the promotion’s talent-finding ONE Warrior Series, saw his two-fight win streak come to an end after losing a split decision to Hiroshi Minowa in November 2020. But “The Thunder Kid” returned to action in style and decked Kawahara (7-4-2) with a perfectly timed left hand in the second round to return to winning ways in fine style.

ONE Championship 126 results include:

  • Shinya Aoki def. James Nakashima via submission (rear-naked choke) – Round 1, 2:42
  • Gadzhimurad Abdulaev def. Zebaztian Kadestam via submission (face crank) – Round 1, 2:08
  • Meng Bo def. Samara Santos via unanimous decision
  • Lito Adiwang def. Namiki Kawahara via knockout (punch) – Round 2, 2:02
