"This is actually a banger" - Fans hyped, make their picks for Jarred Brooks and Gustavo Balart's interim world title showdown

ONE Championship stars Jarred Brooks and Gustavo Balart will duel over the ONE interim strawweight MMA world championship in the main event of ONE Fight Night 24 on Friday, August 2.

The promotion recently shared a graphic for this must-watch fight between two world-class wrestlers on Instagram and asked fans whom they expect to leave the circle with his hand raised.

Fans from both sides shared their support for their respective fighters in the comments section, which can be read below:

"Oh snap this is actually a banger"

"Great fight, can't miss"

"Brooks getting back what's his! #WarBrooks"

"@the_monkeygod 🏆🦍🤷🏽‍♂️🎤"

"Let's go @gladiador_balart_. Your belt and your time!"

"Balart for the win! Vamos / Let's go @gladiador_balart_"

'The Monkey God' is coming off a disqualification loss to Filipino rival Joshua Pacio this past March, which led to him losing the strawweight MMA crown.

Meanwhile, 'El Gladiador' is riding a wave of momentum following a four-fight winning streak that includes victories over former ONE strawweight MMA kings Yosuke Saruta and Alex Silva.

Jarred Brooks points out Gustavo Balart's biggest weakness

Jarred Brooks is ready to fight on all fronts against the Cuban star in their clash inside the historic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Speaking with ONE Championship, Brooks said:

"I know that he's going to be working boxing. OK, I'll beat you on the inside boxing. Oh, you're gonna be working with Muay Thai? I'll beat you at Muay Thai. Or you're gonna try to wrestle me now? OK, I'm gonna wrestle you and jiu-jitsu you. You're just not there, bro. You're just not. I think that's your biggest weakness."

ONE Fight Night 24 will air live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
