While beating Drus Du Plessis was impressive, Roberto Soldic has just sent shock waves through the sport with an even more ruthless knockout on a 171.
On October 6, 2018, in KSW 45, in Wembley Arena, London, United Kingdom, the Croatian headed with the now UFC Middleweight Champion.
After lost their first meeting, Soldic was determined to take revenge.
In the third round he exploded a thunderous left hand on his rival before he ended the job via brutal soil and pound.

Roberto Soldic destroys Saygid Guseyn Arslanaliev on one 171
Roberto Soldic arrived in the Lusail Sports Arena in Qatar with a huge point to prove.
His opponent, Saygid Guseyn Arslanaliev, was determined to subtract the upset and was happy to hit with the Power Puncher, who eventually turned out to be undone.

While the Russian-Armenian threw a staircase, Soldian burst into life, launched a devastating left hand, who left his rival flat on his face cold.
De Jager will probably propel the victory to a title shot in one championship. At the same time, it has also created a lot of hype for a rematch with Dricus du Plessis.
Although the South African is currently dominating in the UFC, there is no doubt that he wants to get it back.
Although even Chael Sonen says that Du Plessis has the most confusing style he has ever seen, Soldic has proven that he is more than able to solve that Rubix Cube.
One-army hunter dominates the opponent to score KO victory on a 171
Soldic was not the only MMA star who made an impression on a 171.
Jake Peacock, who misses part of his right arm, looked nothing less than sensational in his match-up with Shinji Suzuki.
Instead of having his limb difference define it, the son of Chelsea football legend, Gavin Peacock, used it to feed his fire to become one of the best Muay Thai practitioners on the planet.
And it's fair to say, Peacock looked really devastating when he landed a frightening Ko.
