ONE strawweight world champion 'The Monkey God' Jarred Brooks is in pursuit of 'The Iron Man' Rodtang Jitmuangnon. A potential fight between the two will be a battle of champions as the 25-year-old Rodtang currently holds the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world title.

Brooks has had a flawless run in ONE Championship thus far. The highly skilled American fighter recently captured the ONE strawweight world title in a five-round battle against 'The Passion' Joshua Pacio.

In a recent Instagram post, the strawweight king called his shot against 'The Iron Man':

"At the end of the day, I’m looking forward to fighting some real competition. I don’t care if it has to be John Lineker. I don’t care if I have to. I think it would be really cool for me to do four-ounce gloves boxing with Rodtang. Rodtang leaves his hands down, I think that I can beat him in boxing."

Jarred Brooks has called out Rodtang before

This is not the first time that Jarred Brooks has called out Rodtang. Speaking to Tim Wheaton of MMA Sucka in 2022, 'The Monkey God' said:

“I think Jeremy Miado just proved that Rodtang isn’t as good as he is.”

'Mini T' Danial Williams had a back-and-forth war against Rodtang, while Jeremy Miado stopped Williams via TKO. Brooks is not buying the Rodtang hype and wants a match against 'The Iron Man.'

However, Jarred Brooks may have to get in line as Rodtang has a very busy schedule ahead of him. The Muay Thai great will look to defend his world title against Edgar Tabares at ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video booked for May 5 in the USA.

In addition to his stateside battle, Rodtang will also be challenging for the kickboxing crown this year. At ONE Fight Night 8 on Prime Video booked for March 24, 'The Iron Man' will face Superlek 'The Kicking Machine' Kiatmoo9 for the ONE flyweight world championship.

'The Iron Man' may be making history in 2023 by becoming a two-sport world champion. Looking to upset the party is the strawweight MMA king, 'The Monkey God' Jarred Brooks.
