Unfortunate that it was an accidental low blow – Stephen Loman bummed with the finish of Andrade-Lineker

Stephen Loman/Fabricio Andrade/John Lineker ONE bantamweight contender Stephen Loman is preparing to face former long-time champion at ONE on Prime Video 4. Like many, 'The Sniper' is disappointed with how the division's most recent title fight ended. As many know by now, the ONE on Prime Video 3 main event featuring former champ and rising No. 1-contender Fabricio Andrade came to an anticlimactic end after an unintentional & illegal groin strike by Andrade. Loman—currently ranked No. 5 at bantamweight—feels bummed for both fighters. He told The MMA Super-Fan in an interview: "From what I’ve observed on Lineker, especially with a broken cup, that really has to hurt. Andrade prepared that knee strike well, he really put everything he had on that knee strike, but it was really unfortunate that it was an accidental low blow." For those who haven't seen the devastating knee to the groin, check it out below:

Stephen Loman knows what a low-blow feels like

The 30-year-old contender has competed in 18 professional mixed martial arts bouts—and he knows what it's like to receive a strike to the groin. Loman said: "Yes, I’ve been hit with a low blow before, many of them actually. In the last fights in my past promotion, I often felt that my opponents would sometimes hit my groin when they went for leg kicks. Of course it hurts getting hit with a low blow." ONE's bantamweight division is currently in a state of disarray following . Not only did the title fight end in a no-contest, but Lineker missed weight which made him ineligible to hold the belt any longer. As things stand, the ONE bantamweight throne remains unoccupied. Stephen Loman's upcoming fight with Fernandes is pivotal for both fighters, who covet a chance to compete for the world title. Fernandes has already experienced two title reigns, while Loman hopes to receive his first opportunity. The Filipino is 2-0 since joining ONE in 2021—beating Yusup Saadulaev and Shoko Sato. He faces his stiffest test yet in the form of a promotional legend. Stephen Loman will take on Bibiano Fernandes at ONE on Prime Video on November 18 in the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
