“Let’s run it back here” - American star Jarred Brooks wants trilogy meeting against rival Joshua Pacio at ONE 168 in Denver

'The Monkey God' Jarred Brooks has the perfect event in mind for his inevitable trilogy bout with current ONE strawweight MMA world champion Joshua Pacio.

15 months after earning a decisive unanimous decision victory over 'The Passion' to claim the strawweight crown at ONE 164, Jarred Brooks returned to the Circle determined to defend his title against the very man he took it from at ONE 166 on March 1.

Tragically, the fight ended in the opening minute after Brooks inadvertently spiked Pacio on his head during an early takedown attempt. With it being an illegal maneuver, 'The Monkey God' was disqualified, crowning Pacio the strawweight king once again.

Fortunately, Pacio did not sustain any permanent injuries and later expressed interest in closing out his trilogy with Brooks in the future. No official date has been announced for their third meeting, but if it's up to Brooks, it'll go down when ONE Championship heads back to the United States on September 6.

"Let's run it back here @joshuapacio," Brooks wrote on his Instagram stories. "Fire card @onechampion #ONE168."

Joshua Pacio vs. Jarred Brooks III would make an undeniably exciting addition to an already incredible ONE 168 card that is just begging to take shape six months ahead of the fight.
