Jarred Brooks wants a quick night against Gustavo Balart
American superstar Jarred Brooks is aiming to make another statement with a quick finish over his next opponent Gustavo Balart.
Although 'The Monkey God' will have five rounds ahead of him for the interim title to headline ONE Fight Night 24 on Aug. 2, he will not waste his time to face constant pressure from Balart, as he said in the same interview:
"I wanna get it done in the first round. The less time I'm in there, the less damage I accumulate and the more shine I can get to get better. So yeah, I'd love to get it done in the first if not the third or the fourth."
ONE Fight Night 24 will air live in U.S. primetime free of charge for Amazon Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
