"Fight me" - Reece McLaren, Jarred Brooks get cheeky in their call out of MMA legend Demetrious Johnson

ONE flyweight MMA world champion Demetrious Johnson has no shortage of challengers and two well-established MMA stars are throwing their hat into consideration.

The promotion recently asked fans on Instagram to type out Johnson's full name in the comments section with their eyes closed and many were more than happy to take part.

No. 4-ranked flyweight MMA fighter Reece McLaren and former ONE strawweight MMA world champion Jarred Brooks also joined in on the fun, but had their own witty responses in the comments.

'The Monkey God' Brooks was the first to comment:

​

​

"I should fight Jarred Brooks"

As for 'Lightning' McLaren, he had a similar hilarious reply:

​

​

"Fight me. Ooh. See."

Of the two MMA greats, it is Brooks who has been chasing after a fight with 'Mighty Mouse' since last year in the hopes of adding a second ONE MMA world title to his resume.

In the eyes of many fans though, McLaren has done more than enough in his 16-fight ONE career to challenge for the flyweight MMA division's top prize.

"Right now, I'm just focused on jiu-jitsu. Jiu-jitsu is a thing that I've really fallen in love with."

He stated further:

​

"You know, I've been fighting since I was 18 years old, became a champion in UFC, held that for six years, just became the champion in ONE Championship, defending that belt in Denver last year. So right now, I'm married, got three kids, working on building my brand, and I'm just focused on that. Because if you build a brand, the brand outlasts me."
