The much-anticipated showdown for the division’s crown is now set to take place at ONE 164 on December 3 and will be held at the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines.
‘The Monkey God’ has been on a rampage since making his promotional debut in November 2021. He ran through three of the top contenders in the division, namely Lito Adiwang, Hiroba Minowa, and Bokang Masunyane. In all his bouts, he has showcased his world-class wrestling and superior ground game, resulting in two submissions in his three wins.
During an interview with The South China Morning Post, Jarred Brooks acknowledged that the fight game can be unpredictable. However, he believes that his wrestling is just levels above Pacio’s. He said:
While wearing a jacket inspired by the colors of the Philippine flag, Brooks addressed the Filipino faithful, promising that he will beat ‘The Passion’ in his own game.

Jarred Brooks throws shade at Joshua Pacio’s world title reign
Jarred Brooks has been a beast inside the circle, but he’s also shown an ability to throw fire on the mic during his tenure at ONE Championship. In his latest verbal tirade, he directed his attention to Joshua Pacio’s reign in the ONE strawweight division.
In the same interview with SCMP MMA, Brooks said:
To his credit, ‘The Passion’ has defeated every man that has ever held the ONE strawweight world title. Meanwhile, as impressive as Jarred Brooks has been in his first three bouts, none of the men he has defeated have had a chance to compete for the world title.
