Stephen Loman will be facing a daunting opponent for his debut in ONE Championship.
In Loman’s way to ONE stardom is bantamweight star, John Lineker.
The former BRAVE CF World Champion is set to square off against Lineker on April 28 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
Apart from this being Loman’s first fight in ONE, this will also be his chance to avenge the loss of his fellow team Lakay slugger Kevin Belingon who was knocked out cold by Lineker last year.
Loman will also protect his winning-streak of eight consecutive victories including his world title defenses at BRAVE.
Despite being named as the longest-reigning world champion in BRAVE CF (held his belt for 1,180 days), Loman decided to leave the organization and test the waters of ONE.
Loman ended up surrendering his belt at BRAVE, did not re-sign, and closed a deal with ONE top officials after signing last February 9.
