Loman back with Brave, inks multi-fight deal

MANILA, Philippines -- Stephen Loman is returning to the Brave Combat Federation.

Loman, who mutually parted ways with the ONE Fighting Championship, has signed a multi-bout agreement with Brave FC.

“Stephen is more than just a former World Champion in our ranks. He is family, a Brave CF pioneer, and one of the finest athletes to ever compete in our cage,” Brave CF President Mohammed Shahid said in a statement.

“We are thrilled to welcome him back and confident that his career is in excellent hands with Brave CF.”

Loman won the inaugural BRAVE CF Bantamweight World Championship back in 2017.

He held the coveted crown for an incredible 1,179 days, defending it successfully four times.

In the promotion, he has a 6-0 win-loss record. He has an overall professional record of 17-3, including six knockouts and two submissions.

“I am extremely happy to be back home with Brave CF,” the Ifugao native said.

“I am grateful to Brave CF for welcoming me back and giving me the chance to continue my journey in the organization that helped me grow as a fighter. Yes, I’m happy to say that I’m back home.”

He is expected to suit up for action next year.

Loman is eyeing to reclaim his seat at the head of the table, but he has to go through Serbian superstar Borislav Nikoli?, the current bantamweight champion.

He last saw action in ONE back in 2023.
