Stephen “The Sniper” Loman

Stephen Loman is a five-time MMA Champion from the renowned Team Lakay gym in Baguio City, Philippines. “The Sniper” has a wushu background that has been honed at the famous camp, but he is also known for his incredible submission game.

Loman won the bantamweight title at the 2017 Brave FC tournament in Bahrain, defeating Gurdarshan “Saint Lion” Mangat in the final. After successfully defending his belt four times, “The Sniper” was given the opportunity to show off his skills in ONE Championship to the organization’s global fan base.

The Filipino star’s run in the world’s largest martial arts organization got off to a flying start in December 2021, as he knocked out Dagestani grappling sensation Yusup Saadulaev. He followed that up by defeating former Shooto Bantamweight Champion Shoko Sato three months later.

Now, Loman is on the cusp of a ONE Bantamweight World Title shot, and should he win the crown one day, then he would join the ranks of Team Lakay greats such as Honorio Banario, Eduard Folayang, Kevin Belingon, Geje Eustaquio, and the current ONE Strawweight World Champion Joshua Pacio, all of who have earned the coveted gold.

With his first two ONE Championship fights ending in his favor, Loman has demonstrated that he fits right in with the organization’s elite bantamweights.
