Stephen “The Sniper” Loman is leaving nothing to chance as he prepares for the most consequential fight of his illustrious career, surrounding himself with two trusted figures who understand his game from the inside out.
The former BRAVE CF Bantamweight World Champion will face No. 1-ranked divisional contender Lasha Abramishvili in the co-main event of BRAVE CF 108, which takes place live from the historic Pula Arena in Croatia on Saturday, September 5.
Joining Loman for the pivotal assignment are Filipino mixed martial arts icon Eduard “Landslide” Folayang and BRAVE CF alumnus Jeremy “The Juggernaut” Pacatiw.
“I’m happy that I’ll be with them. I really need people who truly understand my game and have been with me throughout camp. It’s good because they can see the adjustments I need to make in the fight,” Loman said.
The formidable entourage reflects the magnitude of Loman’s comeback.
This will be his first fight in three years and his first appearance under the BRAVE CF banner since successfully defending his then-bantamweight crown against Louie “Leonidas” Sanoudakis at BRAVE CF 30 in November 2019.
Folayang, widely regarded as “The Face of Philippine MMA,” played a pivotal role in the sport’s popularity in the country during its formative years.
The legendary “Landslide” also captured the World Title twice at lightweight.
Pacatiw, meanwhile, knows the BRAVE CF cage intimately, having competed for the promotion 10 times between 2016 and 2019.
“The Juggernaut” also holds the distinction of being the only athlete in BRAVE CF history to have traveled to and fought in more countries than any other competitor.
Yet their presence is not merely a showcase of star power. Loman has assembled his corner with a specific purpose: to eliminate blind spots and ensure every contingency is addressed.
“I’m happy because this is a new chapter for me. At the same time, I’m excited to represent the team. So I’ll really do my best,” Loman stated.
Yet their presence is not merely a showcase of star power. Loman has assembled his corner with a specific purpose: to eliminate blind spots and ensure every contingency is addressed.
“Of course, there are things that I might not see or notice during the fight. I need them to be my voice of reason while I’m in there. At the same time, I want them with me to make sure I’m completely ready before I step into the cage,” he explained.
The urgency is underscored by Abramishvili’s remarkable ascent.
Since Loman stepped away in 2023, the Georgian spitfire has won eight straight fights, six by stoppage. Four of those victories have come inside the BRAVE CF cage, propelling him to a formidable 12-2-1 record.
Loman, therefore, knows precisely what awaits him this weekend.
The bout also marks another milestone in his personal evolution. For the first time as a competitor, he will represent Lions Nation MMA, the stable founded by Folayang alongside Kevin “The Silencer” Belingon, Honorio “The Rock” Banario, and Joshua “The Passion” Pacio following their departure from Team Lakay in 2023.
“I’m happy because this is a new chapter for me. At the same time, I’m excited to represent the team. So I’ll really do my best,” Loman stated.
