At ONE Fight Night 13, Jarred Brooks will step inside the circle with the odds stacked against him for the very first time.
As the reigning ONE strawweight MMA world champion, the American has dominated all of his opponents under the ONE banner, securing a unanimous decision win over Joshua Pacio at ONE 164 to win the title.
On Friday, August 4, he will step outside of his comfort zone to try and become a two-sport world champion by facing Mikey Musumeci.
With the ONE flyweight submission grappling world championship on the line, this will be a whole different ball game for Brooks, especially against a guy like ‘Darth Rigatoni'.

Regarded as one of the best jiu-jitsu competitors on the planet, Musumeci hasn’t come across a style inside the circle that he hasn’t been able to solve.
In this contest, Brooks will look to offer the champ something new with his aggressive grappling style that he has been so effective within MMA.
On his Instagram profile, Jarred Brooks posted a hype video and message ahead of the fight. "The Monkey God" is well prepared to shock the world by defeating ‘Darth Rigatoni’ at Lumpinee.
