Jarred Brooks previews ONE Championship title fight against Joshua Pacio

Interview with Jarred Brooks below

Jarred Brooks (19-2) recaps his first-round submission victory over Bokang Masunyane (8-1) at ONE Championship 156 on Apr. 22. Brooks also talks about his controversial loss to UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo in 2017, working with former UFC flyweight Justin Scoggins and previews his upcoming title fight against Joshua Pacio.

“I can submit him on the ground. If he gets up to his feet, I can trade with Joshua, I know that our power is equal. He is super sneaky, but I have (Justin) Scoggins with me and that guy can kick the end of your head and you won’t even know it. I’m not overlooking Joshua Pacio, but there’s levels to this.”
