ONE 164 Results: Jarred Brooks Tops Joshua Pacio For Title

Jarred Brooks walked into the Mall of Asia Arena wanting to becoming a champion.

He did just that, scoring a victory over Joshua Pacio in the main event of ONE 164 to win the strawweight belt.

Brooks and Pacio engaged immediately at the sound of the opening bell, with “The Monkey God” pushing the pace to try to set up his takedowns. “The Passion” tried his best to stay outside of Brooks’ range by countering whenever the American shot in.

But despite Pacio’s stellar takedown defense, the challenger held his own in the striking department, as he often caught his opponent with overhand rights.

In the fourth stanza, Brooks landed a takedown and then caught Pacio in a wrenching face crank as time expired. The final five minutes saw “The Monkey God” complete another double leg, as he finished the fight in top position to cement his title victory.

In a featured bout, former champion Brandon Vera suffered a first round TKO loss to Amir Aliakbari.
