“I will finish you in under two minutes” - Jarred Brooks says he makes quick work of Jonathan Haggerty in MMA fight

Former ONE strawweight MMA world champion 'The Monkey God' Jarred Brooks of the United States wants the biggest fights in his ONE Championship tenure, so much so that the 31-year-old Mash Fight Team representative is willing to crossover into submission grappling, kickboxing, and Muay Thai to prove he's the best.

Brooks recently issued a challenge to two-sport ONE world champion 'The General' Jonathan Haggerty, to face him in Muay Thai and then to come to MMA and do a superfight with him.

He told Sportskeeda MMA in an exclusive interview:

"Alright John, seen you in Thailand you said that you wanted your little brother to fight me, I think that you were running away, I think that you're trying to give me that easy work so you can see how I do against your brother and then I go against you and you understand where your brother lies."

Brooks continued:

"No. I'm gonna go against you, I want to beat the first generation, and then I go against your brother and beat the second generation. But that's in Muay Thai bro, that's in Muay Thai. Period. So if you wanted to do mixed martial arts, come to me and I will finish you in under two minutes, brother."
