ONE strawweight world champ Jarred Brooks shares his top five actors of all time

In addition to his world-class MMA talent, ONE strawweight world champion Jarred Brooks has also revealed his taste in world-class actors.

'The Monkey God' recently took to Twitter to share his top five actors. His list includes five men- all of whom have been nominated for the Academy Awards at least one- who star in some of the most beloved films of the past few decades.

Here’s Jarred Brooks’ top five actors:

All of these actors have played various roles related to action movies, similar to Brooks’ real-life journey as an “action hero”, or mixed martial artist. His most recent appearance in the octagon was against former world champion Joshua Pacio in a world title-arresting victory for the American.

The 29-year-old is now 4-0 in ONE Championship, beating two of those opponents by submission. He’s awaiting his first world title defense and could be a top candidate to fight at ONE Fight Night 10, the promotion’s debut event in the United States.

Jarred Brooks proposes contender fights at strawweight to determine next strawweight contenders

ONE Championship’s strawweight division is now wide open with a new world champion at the helm.

Jarred Brooks has only held the belt for just over a month, but he has already defeated the top three of the division. A clear next challenger for the American isn’t totally clear at the moment, but Brooks recently posted to Twitter his choice of two matchups that could keep the division moving:

"I need to see minowa vs miado and bokang masunyane vs Gustavo balart"

At the moment, none of the top five at strawweight have a fight booked, so any of these matchups are possible. With the two fights proposed by Brooks, the two men remaining are Joshua Pacio and Danial Williams.

The two fighters in the top five that Brooks is yet to fight are Danial Williams and Gustavo Balart. Williams is coming off of a loss, but Gustavo Balart has won three straight in the division.

Most recently, Balart took a split decision win over former world champion Alex Silva, extending his win streak to three. The Cuban dynamo specializes in wrestling, like Brooks. If Jarred Brooks gets a spot on the Colorado card in May, Balart could be a frontrunner as a potential opponent.

Otherwise, Joshua Pacio could be looking to get right back in the mix against Jarred Brooks. Pacio held the belt for nearly four years and defended it three times. Brooks scored a unanimous decision victory over Pacio last December, but the Filipino's body of work as the world champion can certainly merit an immediate rematch for the belt.
