In the heart of Qatar’s Lusail Sports Arena, the highly anticipated ONE 166 spectacle is set to unfold on March 1, featuring a star-studded lineup of MMA superstars. ONE strawweight world champion, Jarred Brooks, remains undaunted by the formidable competition as he gears up for his rematch against Joshua Pacio.
Brooks’ Bold Declaration
In an exclusive interview with ONE Championship, the self-proclaimed ‘Monkey God’ exuded confidence, asserting, “It’s a big opportunity for me and for all the fighters in the Middle East. Aliakbari may be the biggest star, but I’m there to steal the show.”
A Redemption Quest
Brooks, coming off a loss against Mikey Musumeci in August 2023, remains resilient. Musumeci denied Brooks’ bid for a two-sport world champion title, securing the golden belt in a flyweight submission grappling showdown at ONE Fight Night 13. Undeterred, Brooks maintains an impeccable track record within the ONE banner with four consecutive victories.
Unfazed by Past Defeats
The upcoming bout against Pacio holds significance, given their first encounter in December 2022 at ONE 164, where Brooks triumphed unanimously. Despite Pacio’s shift to Lions Nation MMA under Eduard Folayang’s tutelage, Brooks remains unwavering, confident that the result of the rematch will still lean in his favor.
Brooks’ Disregard for Game Plans
Dismissive of Lions Nation MMA’s potential game plan against him, Brooks remains focused on the ultimate goal – victory. The American champion believes that no strategy will matter come fight night when he locks horns with the Filipino superstar.
