Filipino Bantamweight Stephen Loman departs ONE FC, returns to BRAVE

Filipino MMA fighter Stephen Loman has officially parted ways with ONE Championship, as confirmed in a joint announcement on December 2, 2025.

Loman, 30, compiled a 3-1 record over his four-year stint with ONE. His last fight inside the circle was a unanimous-decision loss to former bantamweight champion John Lineker back in September 2023.

In his farewell message, Loman expressed gratitude for his time in the promotion.

“Thankful to the Lord for the opportunity to showcase my skills on the global stage of ONE Championship. Representing my Lord, my team, and my country Philippines, under this banner has been an honor I will carry for the rest of my career,” Loman said.

“Even though my time with ONE was brief, it was significant, unforgettable, and full of experiences that improved me as a person and as an athlete,” he added.

Looking ahead, Loman remains optimistic, requesting continued support from his fans as he embarks on a new chapter.

“I hope and pray you’ll continue to stand with me as I take on this next chapter in my journey to greatness. The road ahead is long, challenging, and probably uncertain, but that is exactly where champions are forged,” he said.

The separation, according to ONE, was amicable and mutual as the promotion commended Loman for his professionalism and the exciting fights he gave fans during his stay.

Reports suggest that Loman is now poised to return to BRAVE Combat Federation (BRAVE CF), where he previously reigned as bantamweight champion before jumping to ONE Championship.
