Filipino MMA star Stephen Loman returns to BRAVE CF on a multi-fight deal

BRAVE combat federation (BRAVE CF) has announced that Filipino MMA superstar Stephen Loman has signed a multi-fight deal and will return to the promotion that helped launch his international career.

Mohammed Shahid, Chairman of BRAVE Combat Federation, stated:

“Stephen Loman is a true pioneer of BRAVE CF and one of the athletes who helped shape the identity of our organization. We are incredibly proud to welcome him back after several years away. His skills, dedication and championship history make him a fighter worthy of any podium in the world. BRAVE CF is committed to supporting Stephen every step of the way, and we can’t wait to see him return to the cage to continue building his legacy.”

“The Sniper” Stephen Loman, former BRAVE CF Bantamweight World Champion, stated:

“Being back at BRAVE CF feels like coming home. This is the promotion that gave me my first big opportunity on the international stage and believed in me when I first started. I am very grateful to Mr. Mohammed Shahid for welcoming me with open arms. I am motivated, focused and ready to give the fans everything I have as I work to regain the championship and make my mark once again.”

Loman has been a trailblazer since BRAVE CF’s very first event in September 2016, amassing an impressive professional record of 17-3, including six wins via knockout and two via submission. Within the organization, he remains undefeated with a 6-0 record, establishing himself as one of the most celebrated competitors.

A defining highlight of his journey came at BRAVE CF 9: THE KINGDOM OF CHAMPIONS in November 2017, when he captured the inaugural BRAVE CF Bantamweight World Championship with a first-round technical knockout victory over Gurdarshan “Saint Lion” Mangat.

“The Sniper” held the intricately crafted title for a whopping 1,179 days, recording four successful defenses – including an emphatic fourth-round knockout of former BRAVE CF featherweight world champion Elias “Smile” Boudegzdame in front of Filipino fans at the Mall of Asia Arena in March 2019.

Now, the Lions Nation MMA standout begins an exciting new chapter with the Bahrain-based team, which has its sights set on regaining the BRAVE CF bantamweight world title. Loman will return to action in 2026, where he will work towards a highly anticipated showdown with the current division king in Borislav Nikolić.
