“I've got to find my place” - Jarred Brooks looks to immortalize his standing among legends in ONE Championship

Former ONE strawweight MMA world champion and current first-ranked strawweight MMA contender 'The Monkey God' Jarred Brooks of the United States has one goal on his mind as he traverses through the ranks in the world's largest martial arts organization.

He wants to go down as one of the best to ever do it in ONE Championship.

The 31-year-old Mash Fight Team representative says he's looking for a spot among the legends in the promotion.

Speaking to South China Morning Post in a recent interview, Brooks said he is looking to carve his spot in ONE Championship's history books.

'The Monkey God' said:

"I think that wherever I see myself in a good place, I'm going to be there. So it's all about manifestation. It's all about you trying to find your place in life and find your place as a person. So you still have to constantly try to find your place as a person and even as a fighter in ONE Championship, I've got to find my place."

Needless to say, Brooks will have the chance to immortalize his status among legends in ONE again next week, when he guns for interim gold.
