ONE Championship fans witnessed a clash for the ages between strawweight MMA stars Jarred Brooks and Joshua Pacio at ONE 164 in December 2022. The latter's ONE strawweight MMA world championship was on the line after successfully defending it on three occasions.

As for Brooks, the American star was on a three-fight winning streak of his own and was keen to claim his first-ever ONE world championship.

'The Monkey God' dethroned Pacio in front of his Filipino countrymen thanks to his vastly improved stand-up game coupled with his world-class wrestling prowess.
