Top-ranked ONE strawweight MMA contender Jarred Brooks is a winner. That's what he does.

'The Monkey God' will look to do it once again when he makes his sixth walk to the Circle on Friday, August 2 for a ONE interim strawweight MMA world title clash with streaking Cuban superstar Gustavo Balart.

The two strawweight warriors will headline ONE Fight Night 24 on Prime Video when the promotion makes its return to the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Making his promotional debut at ONE: NEXTGEN III in November 2021, 'The Monkey God' kickstarted a four-fight win that eventually led him to capture his first ONE world title via an absolutely dominant performance against Joshua Pacio.

Next, he'll look to add another big win to his resume and show the world that when it comes to winning, nobody does it better.

"I know how to win. I really do," Brooks said in an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda MMA. "Winning is in my repertoire, losing is definitely not."

With 20 career wins to his credit, Jarred Brooks is used to having his hand raised. But for the first time since making his first appearance inside the Circle, 'The Monkey God' will be looking to bounce back from a loss.

Defending the ONE strawweight MMA world title against Joshua Pacio at ONE 166 in Qatar, Jarred Brooks was shockingly disqualified less than 60 seconds into the scrap when he inadvertently spiked 'The Passion' on the top of his head during a takedown attempt.

Brooks will begin his road back to the top of the strawweight mountain when he meets 'El Gladiador' for interim gold and the opportunity to run it back with Pacio for a third, and presumably final time.

ONE Championship fans in the United States and Canada can watch ONE Fight Night 24 live and for free via Amazon Prime Video in U.S. primetime on Friday, August 2.
