Team Lakay’s Stephen “The Sniper” Loman has a date with destiny this coming November 19.
The streaking Filipino MMA star is just a couple of weeks away from his much-awaited clash against Former ONE Bantamweight World Champion Bibiano “The Flash” Fernandes at ONE on PRIME Video 4, which takes place at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore.
Loman, who’s looking to collect his third straight win inside the ONE Circle and a possible shot at the title, believes that he’s more than ready to extend his winning ways, as he faces one of the legends of the sport.
“Training is going very well and I can’t wait for November 19. I am sharpening every aspect of my skill set as we all know the challenge waiting for me in Singapore,” said Loman.
Dominant and impressive in his last two outings, the 27-year-old Baguio City native thinks that another statement win will send the message across the division, his serious intent in reaching his goal – to become a ONE Bantamweight World Champion.
But easier said than done, Loman is completely aware of the problems he will be solving when he goes toe-to-toe with the Brazilian legend.
“I want to fight the best, this will help me in many aspects in my goal to become a World Champion again. That’s why I’m excited to face Bibiano. We all know the danger that he brings to the table. This is the perfect moment for me to test my overall skill set as a fighter,” said Loman.
“I’m really motivated to win this match. A lot of things are at stake and I know both of us want to get the victory,” Loman added.
Despite Loman’s intentions to win already set, it won’t change the fact that he will still be facing one of Brazil’s very best who is also looking to end the year strong after failing to defend his ONE Bantamweight crown last March.
Nevertheless, “The Sniper” is unfazed and would gladly test his might against his Brazilian counterpart.
“I know I’ll be facing a very dangerous opponent, but just like in my previous fights, I’ll just enjoy the opportunity and do everything to secure the win,” Loman shared.
“He will try to take me down or possibly go toe-to-toe. Regardless, I’ll be prepared, I will show him the best version of Stephen Loman this November 19.”
