Stephen Loman to face former champ John Lineker at ONE Fight Night 14

Former Brave CF bantamweight champion Stephen Loman of Team Lakay is set to take on another acid test as he faces the hard-hitting John Lineker at ONE Fight Night 14 on September 30 at Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Loman, 17-2 as a pro, became a contender when he defeated ex-world champ Bibiano Fernandes via unanimous decision in November last year. ONE Championship, however, opted to do a kickboxing title fight for the reigning champion Fabricio Andrade against Jonathan Haggerty.

Left without an opponent and inactive since last year, the 31-year-old Loman will now stake his contender status against the hard-hitting former UFC fighter and ex-ONE bantamweight world champion from Brazil.

Lineker, meanwhile, is coming off a third-round knockout over Kim Jae Woong earlier this month after losing his world title to Andrade last February. He is 36-10 as a mixed martial artist and has gone 5-1 with 1 no contest since signing with ONE Championship.
