By The Numbers: Bibiano Fernandes vs. Stephen Loman
Stephen Loman did not shy away from the moment when presented with the opportunity to introduce himself to a much wider audience.
The ambitious Filipino standout will toe the line against two-time One Championship bantamweight titleholder Bibiano Fernandes in a featured ONE on Prime Video 4 attraction this Friday at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore. Loman enters the cage with the wind of a 10-fight winning streak in his sails.

Fernandes, meanwhile, has rattled off 16 victories across his past 18 outings. The AMC Pankration export last competed at ONE “Lights Out,” where he fell prey to the brick-fisted John Lineker in the second round of their March 11 confrontation.
