“Improve on the ones that work” - Stephen Loman details Team Lakay’s method of training

Stephen Loman is getting ready for his high-stakes showdown against former bantamweight king Bibiano Fernandes. The Filipino-born fighter is preparing for his ONE on Prime Video 4 fight with his home gym Team Lakay.

Loman is currently on a ten-fight win streak and faces a massive opportunity to work further up the rankings against Fernandes.

In an interview with The MMA Super-Fan, 'The Sniper' discussed training techniques in preparation for his November 18 matchup. The 30-year-old explained:

"I think what we’ve been doing inside the gym has helped our grappling a lot. And whenever we spar, we make sure that we’re applying what we learned in the drills during the simulations. We leave out the ineffective techniques and improve on the ones that work."

The Team Lakay training staff is also game-planning to get their fighters ready for their opponents' specific game. Loman continued:

"Right now, we’re trying to emulate the opponents’ strengths and try to replicate it in training. We simulate their specialties so that we can familiarize ourselves with their techniques and come up with ways to stop it."

Stephen Loman understands the brevity of the fight at ONE on Prime Video 4

ONE on Prime Video 4 on November 18, will mark the biggest fight of Stephen Loman's career thus far. Loman understands that defeating a former world titleholder will be a major statement.

'The Sniper' explained in the above interview that Fernandes is not a typical fighter. Loman added that he will need to be on prime form to earn the win:

“I really need to win against Bibiano first, he’s not just an ordinary fighter. I also need to sharpen my techniques because I see that they [ranked opponents] have their own strengths and weaknesses. But if I get a win over Bibiano, I will prove that my skills are on par with his level already.”

Brazil's Bibiano Fernandes will look to get back in the win column after losing his bantamweight crown. Stephen Loman will be looking to earn a huge victory on November 18 at ONE on Prime Video 4.
