BRAVE Combat Federation (CF) bantamweight king Stephen Loman looks to extend his winning streak in Bahrain’s largest mixed martial arts promotion Saturday night, November 23, in Hyderabad, India.
Loman of Team Lakay will try to cement his legacy with his fourth title defense in the main event against Louie Sanoudakis.
With eight victories and only one loss that includes two dominant victories in Brave, Sanoudakis is a well-rounded fighter and specialists claiming he could cause a problem for the champion, especially with his wrestling.
Loman on the other hand welcomed the challenge saying he is motivated to defend his title despite the long haul trip form the Philippines to India.
Undefeated in his last seven bouts, Loman won the title with a first-round knock - out victory over Gurdarshan Mangat back at BRAVE 9, in November of 2017. He then defended the belt with dominant decision victories over Frans Mlambo and Felipe Efrain and put on the best performance of his career in his last outing, against former featherweight world champion Elias Boudegzdame.
With a near-flawless performance, Loman dominated Boudegzdame on home soil, as Brave CF made its much-anticipated debut in the Philippines in March of this year.
After punishing Boudegzdame for three rounds, Stephen got the TKO victory in the fourth frame cementing his place as a legend of BRAVE. He will look to build on that against Sanoudakis on Saturday night.
Despite the seven month lay–off, Loman said he has been keeping his conditioning in check as he continuously trains with his brothers at Team Lakay.
“Tuloy–tuloy and training, hindi huminto (The training continued, it didn’t stop),” said Loman.
Brave CF 30 takes place at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, as India’s premier mixed martial artists will face off against top international stars and several foreign match-ups will once again cement BRAVE as the biggest MMA show in India.
