Though Stephen Loman would much rather be challenging Fabricio Andrade for the ONE bantamweight world title, he expects the champion vs. champion bout between Andrade and Jonathan Haggerty to be a lot of fun.
On October 6, ONE Championship delivers another can’t-miss superfight as ONE world champions Fabricio Andrade and Jonathan Haggerty strap on the eight-ounce gloves for an all-striking clash to crown a new king of the bantamweight kickboxing division. The bout is sure to deliver fireworks as two of the promotion’s most exciting strikers will go toe-to-toe for the opportunity to become a two-sport ONE world champion.
Sharing his thoughts on the high-stakes clash, No. 2 ranked bantamweight contender Stephen Loman is understandably excited for the matchup and expects to see an incredibly fun fight filled with some hard-hitting action.
“We’ll see if there’s a knockout in this fight or if they trade shot-for-shot and just hammer each other,” Loman told The MMA Superfan. “Nevertheless, this will be a fun fight for sure.”

Fabricio Andrade enters the bout seven months removed from his impressive fourth-round TKO against John Lineker to capture the bantamweight world title. Currently, ‘Wonder Boy’ is undefeated inside the Circle, scoring six-straight victories with an incredible 83% finish rate.
His opponent, Jonathan Haggerty has mixed it up with some of the biggest names in the sport, including Joseph Lasiri, Sam-A Gaiyanghadao, and Rodtang Jitmuangnon. But his biggest moment came in April when ‘The General’ scored a stunning first-round knockout over Nong-O Hama to capture the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title.
