Jarred Brooks "going to make sure" he takes ONE strawweight world title from Joshua Pacio

'The Monkey God' Jarred Brooks wants to "make sure" he wins the ONE strawweight world title from 'The Passion' Joshua Pacio. The two fighters are booked for a battle for the throne at ONE 164 on December 3.

While speaking to The MMA Superfan, 'The Monkey God' explained his philosophy heading into the world title match:

"I have the best workout partners in the world. How can you complain? I’m going to be rushing forward, and I’m going to make sure I’ll be the ONE strawweight world champion."

Brooks has earned a shot at the ONE strawweight crown with near-flawless victories against top-ranked fighters. After three consecutive wins in ONE Championship, the American stated that he has not yet shown his best work to the world:

“I don’t think anybody has seen the best version of me at all yet. Like Kamaru Usman said in that Demian Maia fight. He’s like, ‘You haven’t seen 30 percent of what I can do.' It’s just depending on what your canvas is. Joshua Pacio is a hell of a canvas, don’t get me wrong, but I’m willing to go out there and show my heart against him.”
