Jarred Brooks plans to silence the doubters and solidify himself as the best strawweight MMA fighter on the planet with an impressive performance in his upcoming fight.
In December 2022, Brooks faced Joshua Pacio for the ONE strawweight MMA world title in the ONE 164 main event. ‘The Monkey God’ was tested by the longtime world champion, but his grappling skills proved too much for ‘The Passion,’ leading to a unanimous decision win to reach his lifelong goal.
Since then, Brooks bid for a second world title when he challenged ONE flyweight submission grappling world champion Mikey Musumeci. The ONE strawweight MMA world champion showcased a valiant effort before being submitted.

“I want to fight until I'm 40 and I fight smart, but the the longer this gets when by the time I'm 35 I'm going to be knocking people the f*ck out because I understand what I'm capable of now.”
Jarred Brooks has plenty of goals under the ONE banner, including world titles in submission grappling and Muay Thai. First and foremost, ‘The Monkey God’ must get through the always dangerous Joshua Pacio in the ONE 166: Qatar co-main event.
