“I would fight you and your brother” - Jarred Brooks stokes the flame of a potential beef against Jonathan Haggerty
Jarred Brooks has always been known to speak his mind and stir up the hornet's nest, and his new target seems to be the Haggerty brothers.
The ONE interim strawweight MMA world champion shared on his Instagram stories a screenshot of two-sport bantamweight king Jonathan Haggerty talking about how he was still "beltless" before the main event of ONE Fight Night 24.
Brooks did not share who Haggerty was talking to, but he did call out the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion and his younger brother Freddie to two separate MMA fights on the same night.
"I would fight you and your brother the same night in MMA. Two brothers, I could pose you both in a cool pic with me 🥰🥰 @jhaggerty_," wrote Jarred Brooks.
A feud between Brooks and the Haggerty brothers certainly came out of left field, but it's a beef that would quickly add any drama on the ONE Championship roster.
The ONE bantamweight Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion is also no stranger to talking trash, and his potential one-on-one with Brooks on the microphone would be a promo goldmine.
There is, however, the glaring issue of weight class.
Brooks mainly stays at strawweight, and the only time he went over the 125-pound limit was when he challenged Mikey Musumeci for the ONE flyweight submission grappling world title.
Haggerty, meanwhile, has left flyweight altogether due to health issues and has been wreaking havoc in the bantamweight division for almost two years.
Jarred Brooks calls out Demetrious Johnson for a potential super fight
While his feud against the Haggerty brothers was unexpected, Jarred Brooks' desire to challenge Demetrious Johnson isn't.
Brooks has always said fighting the reigning ONE flyweight MMA world champion would be his biggest career challenge, and he once again called Johnson out when he beat Gustavo Balart for the interim strawweight MMA strap at ONE Fight Night 24.
"I'm somebody that goes and tries to go up and beat the competition. I climb the mountains, and I'm not worried. I know that GOATs are really good at climbing mountains, too, but I'm not afraid to try to chase a GOAT."
