‘Rematch King’ Joshua Pacio ranks his most satisfying revenge victories in ONE Championship
Reigning and now undisputed ONE strawweight MMA world champion 'The Passion' Joshua Pacio of the Philippines has been hailed as the 'rematch king' for his ability to even the score with his rivals after losses.
Pacio has shown an uncanny ability to make reads on his opponents' skills after losing to them, apply the necessary adjustments, and then dominate them in the rematch.
One of the best examples of this took place just last month, when Pacio defeated longtime American rival 'The Monkey God' Jarred Brooks via second-round technical knockout at ONE 171: Qatar in late February.
Speaking to the YouTube channel, The MMA Superfan, in a recent interview, Pacio talked about his most impressive rematch wins and ranked them.
'The Passion' said:
"The first one would be this, the Jarred Brooks rematch win. Two, I think is still the Naito win. It’s here because we went five rounds - that was my first time going the distance through five rounds. Then finally, three, the one against Saruta."
ONE 171: Qatar took place live at the Lusail Sports Arena in Lusail, Qatar last Thursday, Feb. 20. Fans in the United States and Canada can catch all the action via replay on-demand on watch.onefc.com, or ONE Championship's official YouTube channel.
