Jarred Brooks unfazed by Mansur Malachiev’s skills
‘The Monkey God’ Jarred Brooks can’t wait to face off with Mansur Malachiev at ONE Fight Night 36: Prajanchai vs. Di Bella II on Prime Video, but he thinks their matchup will be rather one-sided.
The American star told ONE Championship:
“I did mock his style a lot, though. His style is kind of whack. He walks like a zombie, coming forward with his hands up.”
Brooks can’t wait to get his hands on the Russian because Malachiev has been pestering him in private messages. He said:
“The past year and a half, this guy’s been sending me direct messages. He doesn’t really understand English that much, but he’s just trying to get into my head. His whole team has been sending me messages and all that stuff.”
Check back with Sportskeeda MMA for the latest on Jarred Brooks’ return.
