Jarred Brooks wants win against Demetrious Johnson to cement legacy

31 January 2024

Jarred Brooks, the reigning and undisputed ONE strawweight MMA world champion, is setting his sights on a legacy-defining clash with the renowned former UFC superstar and current ONE flyweight MMA world champion, 'Mighty Mouse' Demetrious Johnson.

Despite multiple callouts from Brooks, Demetrious Johnson has yet to respond to the challenges. Brooks envisions moving up a weight class to flyweight, seeking to challenge Johnson for the coveted gold. The 32-year-old fighter hailing from Warsaw, Indiana, believes that a potential showdown between them could go down as the biggest fight in ONE Championship history.

Beyond the quest for championship gold, Brooks is motivated by the desire for acknowledgement and respect from his peers. In a recent interview with FightWave, 'The Monkey God' expressed his thoughts on facing Johnson:

"You know, if I go against Demetrious Johnson and I beat Demetrius Johnson, even though he's past his prime, in my personal opinion, I think that really gives me the recognition that I actually need."
