Jarred Brooks warned Lito Adiwang against calling him out.
Since making his promotional debut three years ago, 'The Monkey God' has established himself as one of the most dominant forces in all of ONE Championship. Setting up shop in the strawweight MMA division, Brooks has run through a slew of top-five contenders and former world champions, including Hiroba Minowa, Bokang Masunyane, Joshua Pacio, and Gustavo Balart.
However, the very first man to find out just how dangerous Brooks is was none other than 'Thunder Kid' Lito Adiwang. 'The Monkey God' made quick work of Adiwang at ONE NextGen III in November 2021.

Since then, Adiwang has been chomping at the bit to run it back with Brooks — something the interim ONE strawweight MMA world champion strongly advises against.
"No disrespect to Adiwang, bro," Brooks told The MMA Superfan. "Because that guy went through a lot, a lot in the past four years, and I respect him bouncing back like he has, and doing the things, I respect him as a man and as a fighter and as a mixed martial artist at the end of the day. But you talk that talk, man, come visit me."

Jarred Brooks' next bout
After running roughshod over the strawweight MMA division, Jarred Brooks will move up to flyweight on Friday, December 6 for a clash with the division's fourth-ranked contender, Reece 'Lightning' McLaren.
It will be Brooks' first time competing since scoring a first-round submission victory over Gustavo Balart at ONE Fight Night 24 to capture the interim ONE strawweight MMA world title.
The victory set up Brooks for a long-awaited trilogy fight with the division's undisputed king, Joshua Pacio, once 'The Passion' is cleared to return from an ACL surgery he underwent earlier this year.
Until then, Brooks will test his mettle in one of ONE Championship's most talent-rich divisions.
Fans in the United States and Canada can watch ONE Fight Night 26 live on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, December 6 in U.S. primetime.
