ONE strawweight world champion Jarred Brooks will be hangiing up his 8oz gloves for a night as he challenges BJJ phenom Mikey Musumeci for the ONE flyweight submission grappling world title at ONE Fight Night 13.
In front of a capacity crowd inside the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium on August 4, 'The Monkey God' will enter the world of 'Darth Rigatoni' with the hopes of becoming a two-sport ONE world champion.
Though conventional thinking says that Brooks will be venturing into unfamiliar waters once he locks horns with Musumeci, not all fans are convinced that he'll be a fish out of water come fight night.
ONE Championship posted a video of Brooks' own grappling wizardry inside the circle:
