Reigning ONE strawweight world champion ‘The Monkey God’ Jarred Brooks wants fans to know he’s done playing the heel in his fights, and implores people to understand that he’s not all about talking trash.
Known to never mince his words, Brooks is a genius self-promoter, able to drop disses on the mic and cut promos like a true master. He may not have a perfect mixed martial arts record, but when it comes to trash talking, Brooks is undefeated.
That being said, ‘The Monkey God’ says he’s crafty with his words because he wants people to listen.
Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Brooks talked about why he says some of the things he says.
