WATCH: Jarred Brooks turns the lights off on Lito Adiwang and puts him to sleep in ONE debut

The hype surrounding the ONE Championship debut of Jarred Brooks in Nov. 2021 at ONE: NextGen III was quickly justified as he defeated Filipino MMA star Lito Adiwang inside the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

This thrilling clash between the two strawweights was posted by ONE Championship on YouTube, and they wrote the description:

"After a HEATED war of words, Filipino phenom Lito Adiwang and American debutant Jarred Brooks settled the score with a superb submission finish in the main event of ONE: NEXTGEN III - proudly presented by Fairtex!"

Right from the get-go, the difference in fighting styles between Brooks and Adiwang was apparent, as the former immediately went for the takedown while the latter used his elite striking to inflict damage.

However, the superior grappling and wrestling of 'The Monkey God' was too much for 'The Thunder Kid' to handle as he pulled off an arm triangle submission victory in the second round to announce his grand arrival on the global stage.
