ONE interim strawweight MMA world champion 'The Monkey God' Jarred Brooks of the United States is full of confidence. In fact, he may be the most confident fighter in ONE Championship.
'The Monkey God' believes he can beat any fighter they put in front of him in the cage, and that includes newly minted ONE heavyweight MMA world champion Oumar 'Reug Reug' Kane.
Speaking to YouTube channel, The MMA Superfan, in a recent interview, Brooks said that he would find a way to beat 'Reug Reug', albeit in jest.

'The Monkey God' said:
"It doesn't matter. I'm a fighter at the end of the day. If they give me 'Reug Reug', I can find one way to beat 'Reug Reug', right? Don't get me wrong, 'Reug Reug' could blast me right? There are ways to lose fights too, but there are ways to win fights, and I like to stay charismatic in that way."
Now, a fight against 'Reug Reug' is next to impossible to materialize. But that doesn't mean Brooks isn't willing to fight bigger guys for real.
That's why, for his next fight, the brash American is headed north to make his flyweight MMA debut against a ranked opponent.
Fans won't have to wait long to catch Jarred Brooks back in action.
