Loman put reigning ONE Bantamweight MMA World Champion Fabricio ‘Wonder Boy’ Andrade on notice, saying that he is coming for the Brazilian. “Fabricio Andrade, congratulations. You proved again that you’re the champion but we both know that there’s one challenge you haven’t faced yet, and that’s me,” he said in a short video message published through Lions Nation MMA’s social channels.   Though Andrade made a brief detour to kickboxing last year, he said he’s focusing solely on MMA after his first World Title defense in Bangkok, Thailand. There, he folded Kwon Won Il in half in just 42 seconds of their rematch.   “You’ve beaten some of the best but I’m a different animal,” added Loman. While there hasn’t been a fighter to solve the Andrade puzzle yet, Loman feels the Brazilian hasn’t faced someone like him. That said, Loman wants to use his versatility to make life difficult for Andrade – whether on the feet or the canvas.   “My power, my pace, my wrestling, you haven’t dealt with someone like me,” he said.   Now that their paths are seemingly set to cross, Loman is putting the ball in Andrade’s court, telling him that there’s no other logical fight to take than against him. “I’ve been grinding, waiting for my shot. Now there’s nowhere left to run,” Loman said.  “Let’s give the fans what they want. You versus me, for the ONE Bantamweight MMA World Title. No more talk, just action. What do you say, champ?” The Sniper added.</div>
