John Lineker vs. Stephen Loman added to ONE on TNT IV in April

John Lineker will look to continue his ascent up the bantamweight rankings when he welcomes a former BRAVE CF champion to the ONE Championship cage.

Lineker (33-9) is set to meet Stephen Loman (14-2) at ONE on TNT IV in Singapore. The tape-delayed event airs April 28 on TNT.

The matchup was officially announced on the ONE Championship 129: Fists of Fury broadcast Friday. MMA Fighting was first to report the news.

A perennial bantamweight contender throughout his UFC career, Lineker is 2-0 since joining the ONE roster in late 2019. He scored a unanimous decision win over Muin Gafurov in his promotional debut, followed by a second-round finish of former ONE champ Kevin Belingon in November.

Loman, a former BRAVE CF bantamweight champion, notched four successful title defenses during his tenure with the promotion. The 29-year-old Team Lakay prospect has won his past eight in a row, including wins over Frans Mlambo twice, Elias Boudegzdame and Felipe Efrain.

Also announced on the broadcast for the April 28 card is a matchup between light heavyweight champion Aung La N Sang (26-11) who puts his title on the line against Russia’s Vitaly Bigdash (10-2).

With the additions, the ONE on TNT IV lineup includes:

• Champ Aung La N Sang vs. Vitaly Bigdash – for light heavyweight title
• John Lineker vs. Stephen Loman
• Shinya Aoki vs. Sage Northcutt
