Stephen Loman's return to BRAVE Combat Federation has become even more significant.
His bantamweight showdown against Georgian spitfire Lasha Abramishvili has been elevated to the co-main event of BRAVE CF 108, set for September 5 at P**a Arena in Croatia.
The matchup will serve as the final attraction before the middleweight main event between Croatia's Andi VrtaΔiΔ and France's Sofiane Bouafia.
More importantly, it could determine the next challenger for the vacant BRAVE CF Bantamweight World Title following Borislav NikoliΔ's move to the UFC.
For Loman, it marks the latest chapter in a promising career that was put on hold.
The 31-year-old Ifugao native secured his release from ONE Championship in December 2025 after over two years of inactivity and later signed an exclusive multi-fight agreement to return to the organization where he built his legacy.
Loman last competed in September 2023 under the ONE banner, dropping a closely contested decision to John Lineker.
His first stint in BRAVE CF established him as one of the promotion's most accomplished athletes.
βThe Sniperβ won all six of his bouts in the organization, captured the inaugural BRAVE CF Bantamweight World Championship by stopping Gurdarshan Mangat in 2017, and held the belt for a divisional record 1,179 days while defending it four times.
Standing opposite him is Abramishvili, who has quietly emerged as one of the division's top contenders.
The Georgian owns a 12-2-1 record and is 4-0 in BRAVE CF, including his most recent unanimous decision win over Brice Picaud this past June.
