In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda MMA, the ONE strawweight MMA mainstay offered some thoughts on the matter, saying:

"Jarred should be used to sparring with bigger guys given his size. But Reece's height, I think, will be different from what he's used to with his sparring partners who are just a little bit taller than him. So I think it will be a factor in their match, and it'll be interesting to see if he can set himself up for success."

'The Monkey God' has shown throughout his 25-fight professional MMA career that height differences matter little when he can level the playing field by taking down his opponents with his stellar wrestling abilities.

Brooks must be at his best version yet inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, since McLaren will likely lean on his height and striking advantages to dash Brooks' hopes of a successful flyweight MMA debut.
