Jarred Brooks knows just how good Gustavo Balart is—but that doesn't mean the Cuban superstar doesn't have a few holes in his game.
'The Monkey God' plans on taking advantage of every one of them when the two strawweight warriors return to the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand to headline, ONE Fight Night 24 on Prime Video.

Assessing his opponent's skills during an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda MMA, Jarred Brooks recognizes that 'El Gladiador' will be a tough test, but believes there are some flaws in the Cuban's game that he can exploit.
“I don’t like to say much about what he doesn’t bring to the table, but I already know where I can take advantage of," Brooks said. "Like don’t get me wrong, Gustavo Balart is good, but there’s faults here and there.”
Jarred Brooks and Gustavo Balart both fighter for the right to face Joshua Pacio
While Gustavo Balart's ONE Champion run started rocky, losing his first three fights on martial arts' biggest global stage, 'El Gladiador' has righted the ship by winning his last four fights. That includes a noteworthy win over the strawweight division's fourth-ranked contender Hiroba Minowa.
If he can bank a fifth-straight win at ONE Fight Night 24, he'll claim his first ONE world title and guarantee himself a long-awaited showdown with Joshua Pacio.
On the other hand, if Brooks returns to the win column following his devastating DQ loss to 'The Passion' in March, his next appearance will likely be a trilogy fight with Pacio after the pair split their first two meetings.
