Isi Fitikefu eyeing matchups with Christian Lee, Roberto Soldic if he beats Hiroyuki Tetsuka at ONE 168

ONE welterweight MMA contender Iski Fitikefu's ultimate goal is to earn a title shot against the division's overlord, Christian Lee. He also wouldn't mind trading fists with fellow heavy-hitter Roberto Soldic if the promotion decides to give him that fight.

But before the Australian-Tongan star can get the big-name bouts, he must first get past a streaking adversary who has won his last five matches all by way of scintillating finishes.

Fitikefu will be part of the promotion's highly awaited return to American soil when he locks horns with Hiroyuki Tetsuka at ONE 168: Denver this coming September 6 at Ball Arena.

After a sensational first-round submission win over Valmir Da Silva last year, Fitikefu wants to keep the ball rolling against 'Japanese Beast'.

If all goes according to plan, the 31-year-old says he wants the top dogs in the 185-pound ranks next.

'Doxz' told ONE Championship in an exclusive interview:

"I've got my eye on Christian Lee, but there's a lot of guys I've got my eye on. The other guy that excites me a lot is Roberto Soldic. He fought Zebaztian Kadestam on the last Denver card. Both of them. Those fights excite me a lot."

Christian Lee set to return at ONE 169: Atlanta

Following a lengthy hiatus, two-division world MMA champion Christian Lee will finally return to do what he does best at the promotion's second scheduled US event this year, ONE 169: Atlanta.

'The Warrior' will first defend his lightweight MMA crown against Alibeg Rasulov on November 8 at State Farm Arena.

Meanwhile, Fitikefu will certainly keep a close eye on this match since he'll also be gunning for Lee's middleweight MMA gold.
