Jarred Brooks sure rubber match vs Joshua Pacio will be downright epic: "A better fight than the last two"
Jarred Brooks is pleased to know that Joshua Pacio still has his radar locked on a trilogy showdown in the future.
In an interview with spin.ph a couple of weeks back, 'The Passion' touched on his comeback, admitting that he has unfinished business with 'The Monkey God.' Brooks, of course, enjoys the sound of that.
After dropping his ONE strawweight MMA world title to the Lions Nation MMA athlete via disqualification due to an unintentional spike in the opening round of their ONE 166: Qatar fixture, he would love nothing more than a chance to redeem himself.
Speaking exclusively to Sportskeeda MMA, the Mash Fight Team warrior had this to say in response to Pacio's latest comments about a rubber match:
"It's good to hear that Joshua Pacio still has his sights on that trilogy fight. I really like that because I know this trilogy fight is going to be huge."
He added:
"I can see it being a better fight than the last two, for sure. So, all I got to say is that may the best man win."
Jarred Brooks vows to stay hot on the heels of Pacio with decisive win at ONE Fight Night 24
While nothing is confirmed on the divisional king's end, who is on the sidelines due to an ACL injury, Jarred Brooks can book his ticket to the 26 pounds of gold he once owned if he gets his hand raised in his next outing.
'The Monkey God' meets No.3-ranked contender Gustavo Balart in the main event of ONE Fight Night 24 on Friday, August 2, with a chance to gain the ONE interim strawweight MMA world championship that will be on the line.
Speaking on his upcoming five-round scrap – that will set him up for a unification showdown with Pacio should he win – Jarred Brooks told Sportskeeda MMA:
"I want to go out there, have a spectacular finish, wow Chatri, wow the judges, wow everyone and the fans over in Thailand."
