'Wonder Boy' Fabricio Andrade does not have much faith in his fellow bantamweight fighters to put on a show. At ONE on Prime Video 4, Bibiano Fernandes will battle against Stephen Loman in the competitive bantamweight division.
The top-ranked Andrade discussed the upcoming November 18 fight with The MMA Superfan. 'Wonder Boy' said:
"I think it will go to decision, I think it will be a very close fight. But I don’t think neither of those guys will try to take much risk. I think Bibiano will try to put Loman to the ground and Loman will start to get points against him, strike him, take some takedowns and just win."

Bibiano Fernandes thinks Fabricio Andrade may be incorrect
Brazil's Fabricio Andrade believes this fight might be a little bit plain, but former ONE bantamweight world champion Bibiano Fernandes disagrees and believes this match will be a war.
In an interview with ONE Championship, Brazil's Fernandes said:
“On the day of the fight, I will be ready to face him. He’s a good athlete, and he can even beat me, but I’ll tell you something: He won’t win easily. It will be a war.”
For Stephen Loman, facing a former world champion is a huge honor. The Filipino-born fighter sat down with ONE Championship and said:
"This is no doubt the biggest fight of my career. If I can beat a legend like Bibiano Fernandes, it will prove to everyone that Team Lakay fighters are world class. [Former ONE bantamweight world champion] Kuya Kevin [Belingon] has done it in the past, now it’s my turn. I will beat him."
Fabricio Andrade may well be incorrect about this one, as both Fernandes and Loman are expecting a back-and-forth war. Fans can enjoy this fight at ONE on Prime Video 4.
