The 28-year-old fighter clarified that his departure from the stable is by no means an end to his MMA career. After all, he is currently the No. 2-ranked bantamweight in ONE Championship.

“[I’ll] continue to fight under the ONE Championship promotion which has been very supportive of me since day one that I competed in such promotion.”
Currently, Loman holds a professional record of 17 wins, three losses and zero draws.
In ONE Championship, though, the fighter also known as “the Sniper” holds a convincing 3-1 win-loss card.
Last year, former ONE champions Eduard Folayang, Joshua Pacio, Kevin Belingon and Honorio Banario were among the big names who have left their long-time stable.
