Reigning strawweight MMA world champion Jarred Brooks certainly wants in on ONE Championship’s confirmed United States events in late 2024.
‘The Monkey God’ even played matchmaker and once again stirred the pot by suggesting a main event showdown between him and fellow American Demetrious Johnson.
In an interview with ONE, Brooks went into detail about why he’s the most deserving challenger for arguably one of the greatest martial artists of all time.
“I think the United States would be a perfect fight for Demetrious Johnson versus Jarred Brooks. For two United States superstars, don't get me wrong, he has a lot more star power than me, but me going against somebody like Demetrious, it will bring out my star power and show people that I am more of a salesman and I can do it better than Demetrious Johnson inside and outside of the cage and actually sell fights as a smaller fighter.”
