Joshua Pacio vs. Jarred Brooks at ONE 158

'The Passion' has been the champion of ONE's strawweight division since capturing the title against Yosuke Saruta in 2019. He won the fight via a headkick knockout in his home country of The Philippines. His last bout was a successful defense of his title against the same opponent in September last year.

Brooks is on a campaign of trash-talk against the champion. Pacio has responded by saying that he understands trash-talk but prefers the respectful and honorable martial arts ways.

Here's what the champion said to SCMP MMA:

“I'm not annoyed with him. I understand what he's doing. I understand the business side of this sport and I think he's trying to get in my head. But nah, man, that's your thing, do your thing. This is mine. I can't do trash-talking because this is my personality. And I'm setting an example for the next generation here in my country – and it's all about the core values of martial arts.”

The two fighters represent the top of the ONE strawweight division. Pacio is the long reigning champion and will look to add more title defenses to his record. Meanwhile, Jarred Brooks has looked unstoppable in his ONE Championship run so far.
