"Yeah Adriano, I almost forgot about the guy, to be honest. He's just ... I haven't heard anything on social media, Twitter, Instagram, about Adriano ever since he lost against Demetrious. But Adriano Moraes yeah he can get it bro."
Brooks said that size would not be an issue. He added:
"I mean I'm taller than Demetrious [Johnson] (former Moraes opponent) so it really doesn't matter if they wanna put me up against him and I know that he has good jiu-jitsu. I know that he tries double and stuff like that but I think I'm a tough matchup for Adriano."
Needless to say, fans would love to see 'The Monkey God' Jarred Brooks take on some big fights at flyweight after taking care of business in his own division.
