Second-ranked ONE Championship bantamweight MMA contender 'The Sniper' Stephen Loman of the Philippines believes he now has the right game plan to beat reigning divisional king 'Wonder Boy' Fabricio Andrade should the two meet for the gold sometime in the near future.
Loman says Andrade's knockout loss to two-sport world titleholder 'The General' Jonathan Haggerty of the United Kingdom late last year served as the blueprint to beating the hard-hitting Brazilian.
Speaking to Sportskeeda MMA in an exclusive interview, Loman said he studied Andrade's fight against Haggerty at ONE Fight Night 16 in November of last year and says he has discovered 'Wonder Boy's weaknesses.

'The Sniper' said:
"Both are tall fighters, what I saw from Haggerty was how he operated within a short distance. That allowed him to land clean shots on Fabricio, and Haggerty also kept moving during that fight. He was using angles, and going in and out of range."
Loman added:
"That’s what I’ll be looking at if I do get to fight Fabricio. The movement, distance, and attacking, because those are what he used to get Fabricio. He maintained a distance, launched combinations."
Needless to say, Loman has a great chance of beating Andrade if and when they do fight. It's an interesting clash of styles that fans should be excited for.
