ONE Championship’s decision to close out 2022 with ONE 164 is perhaps one of the greatest ideas ever. The match between ONE Strawweight World Champion Joshua Pacio and World No. 1 contender Jared Brooks will be pushed to astronomical heights and a worthy main event to cap off a landmark year for the organization. Pacio is considered the greatest strawweight male fighter in ONE Championship history, and a victory over Brooks would only cement his reputation. But “Monkey God” is a power in itself. Brooks has been on a rampage in The Division since arriving in 2021, revealing that his goal is to take the money out of Pacio’s hands.

With plenty of preparations in place, his ONE 164 match between Pacio and Brooks at the Mall of Asia Arena on Saturday, December 3 will be one of the biggest fights in the promotion’s history. There is no doubt about that. As a Filipino, I can’t help but choose Joshua Pacio to win in Manila at ONE 164. I understand how difficult this challenge is, especially for a fighter with skill and momentum like Jared Brooks. , I don’t think it will change in this match.

He’s no challenger in this fight, but I think he’s more hungry to win just because he’s had to wait so long to fight again. Human competitiveness is invincible. And given all the trash talk he’s had to endure all along, I think he can unleash a more jaded attack on fight night, each with his own game at the end of ONE 164. I’m really torn between the two because I can imagine them pushing their plans and raising their hands. After all, Joshua Pacio and Jared Brooks have been training for each other for quite some time now. Unfortunately, I believe there will be a new ONE Strawweight World Champion.

I think Challenger will have as much say as Pacio would want him to hold his crown in front of his home crowd and silence Brooks. My hunch is that this American’s superior grappling skills will be the ultimate equalizer in this match.

Joshua Pacio’s World Title defense against Jared Brooks at ONE 164 could very well be a dramatic change in ONE Championship history. Meanwhile, Pacio has maintained his dominance and established himself as the undisputed greatest male strawweight in ONE his Championship. But the other side of the equation puts Brooks in his element. A brazen American challenger has arrived in the Pacio homeworld, wreaking havoc and seeking to break the hearts of millions of Filipinos. While the drama outside is in full swing, the action inside the Circle certainly lives up to the promised hype.
