Former ONE strawweight MMA world champion Jarred Brooks of the United States is determined to settle the score with undisputed king ‘The Passion’ Joshua Pacio of the Philippines. Despite their two previous encounters, Brooks believes their story is far from over.
The first fight between Brooks and Pacio took place in December 2022, with Brooks emerging victorious in a unanimous decision. However, their rematch earlier this month at ONE 166: Qatar ended in disappointment for both fighters. Brooks was disqualified for slamming Pacio on his head, resulting in Pacio being crowned the new champion.
In a recent interview with The MMA Superfan, Brooks expressed his desire for a third fight to determine the true champion. He emphasized the similarities between himself and Pacio, both inside and outside the ring, and the potential for an epic battle.
Brooks stated, “Joshua is a champion inside and outside the ring, just like me. That’s what makes our story plot so heavy and so thick. We made our art before, but if we paint another picture, I think we could really make this a war and see who really is the ONE Championship champion of the world.”
Brooks believes the time is now to make the trilogy fight happen. He expressed his eagerness to return to the cage with Pacio, provided that Pacio is cleared of any injury resulting from their previous encounter in Qatar.
“I think we should get this fight done right away. Joshua’s good. His CT scans and everything in his neck. Give it two months. Do it while it’s hot because we have a lot of traction going on with Brooks and Pacio III. I think that would be huge. If Joshua is okay, and training is another aspect, and cutting weight is another aspect. I get that. But I’m ready anytime,” Brooks stated.
