ONE interim strawweight MMA world champion 'The Monkey God' Jarred Brooks of the United States, is ready to overcome the odds and rise to the occasion.
The brash American star is getting ready for arguably the biggest test of his career as he moves up to ONE Championship's flyweight MMA division for the very first time to face a highly regarded opponent.
Brooks is set to face No.4-ranked flyweight MMA contender Lightning Reece McLaren early next month, and the fight has major world title implications.
In a recent interview with the YouTube channel The MMA Superfan, Brooks shared his thoughts on moving up a weight class to fight the dangerous McLaren.

'The Monkey God' said:
"I mean, this is your job at the end of the day. If someone picked me off the street and said, 'Hey, this amount of money to fight this guy right here, right now?' Cool. I'm a contract fighter and I'm a mixed martial artist at the same time."
Brooks says he is willing to face McLaren under any circumstance, even if the latter doesn't make weight. 'The Monkey God' is fully fixated on booking a shot at the vacant ONE flyweight MMA world title left behind by retired legend 'Mighty Mouse' Demetrious Johnson, and he may just get it with a win.
