Former long-time ONE bantamweight world champion Bibiano Fernandes will be making his 15th appearance inside the circle at ONE on Prime Video 4. This time, he'll welcome rising contender Stephen Loman to the biggest of stages.
Loman, who is 2-0 since signing with the organization, is currently slotted as the No. 5-ranked bantamweight. Meanwhile, Fernandes hopes to halt the talented Filipino's momentum in what could be a title-eliminator bout.
As expected, 'The Flash' has been doing his homework on his upcoming foe. He recently spoke with ONE Championship about what he's seen on tape:
"Every time I fight, I go for the knockout or submission. I've seen his fights and I've noticed that he moves a lot. He hits and moves all the time. He's a very athletic guy, he has a dangerous left hand. He has Team Lakay’s style. He has good wrestling, I've never seen anyone putting him down, I've never seen anyone doing jiu-jitsu with him, and I haven't seen him fighting with his back on the ground."
The bantamweight division is in disarray following the no-contest ruling in the most recent title fight between John Lineker and Fabricio Andrade.
Bibiano Fernandes noticing Stephen Loman's weaknesses
'The Flash' has been exploiting his opponent's deficiencies throughout his storied career. He's hoping to do the same against Loman.
In the same conversation with ONE, Fernandes stated:
"He doesn't like to have his back on the ground, he does everything he can to stay on his feet when the opponent tries to take him down. But he has a very good left hand and a good kick, as well as a lot of movement. Those are his strengths. Weakness, I've noticed a few, but I'm focusing on his strengths."
For those who may have forgotten the greatness of Bibiano Fernandes, the former ONE bantamweight king recently took to Instagram to remind people:
Be sure to tune in to ONE on Prime Video 4 on November 18 to see the great Bibiano Fernandes grace the circle once again against another rising star in Stephen Loman. The event will be live from the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
