Stephen “The Sniper” Loman is looking back at his BRAVE CF 108 return with clear eyes. The Filipino star said his fight against Lasha Abramishvili taught him exactly where his game stands.

Loman went the distance with Abramishvili inside the historic Pula Arena in Croatia. His opponent is the promotion’s No. 1-ranked bantamweight contender.

For Loman, simply competing at that level meant something. The performance came after three long years away from the cage.

“I wanted to win, but I can still take a lot of positives from this fight,” Loman said. “I learned things about myself and my game.”

Self-Assessment After Long Layoff

Three years away is a long time for any fighter to endure. Loman admitted he needed this test to see exactly where he stood.

“I proved to myself that I can still compete with a world-class fighter,” he said. He added that getting through a competitive fight gave him real confidence.

The bout also gave him clarity. Loman said it revealed specific areas of his game that still need work.

“Now I know what I need to work on,” he said. It’s a small line, but it frames his comeback as a process.

Building Toward What’s Next

BRAVE CF has echoed that same mindset. The promotion has reaffirmed its plan to keep Loman active moving forward.

That alignment gives Loman a clear runway. He can now apply what he learned from this outing.

Loman sounds energized, not discouraged, by the experience. He’s already treating the fight as a starting point.

“I’m happy to be fighting again,” he said. “I want to keep improving, stay active, and come back stronger.”
