Joshua Pacio, the reigning champion from the Philippines, entered the bout well-known for his dynamic striking and well-rounded skill set.

He previously regained his belt in March 2024 after Brooks was disqualified for an illegal slam during their rematch.

Jarred Brooks, the American interim champion, came into the fight with a renowned background in wrestling. Brooks had claimed the interim title with a decisive victory over Gustavo Balart in August 2024. This trilogy bout at ONE 171 offered him a chance to reclaim undisputed status in the division after losing to Pacio under controversial circumstances.

The stakes were high as both fighters aimed to settle their rivalry once and for all. Their first meeting in December 2022 saw Brooks win via unanimous decision. In a rematch, Brooks lost the title due to an illegal slam. Now the two face off in a trilogy showdown with the world title on the line.

The US-born Brook quickly earned a takedown and advanced to side control. From there, he began landing ground and pound then began looking for an arm triangle submission which Pacio used to get back to his feet and secure a takedown of his own but Brooks slipped in a guillotine choke. Both men survive to fight in the next round.

Pacio caught a body kick from Brooks and landed a straight which knocked down the interim champion while he was on one leg. From top position in full guard, the Filipino-born Pacio began attacking with ground and pound to the body and head. With a flurry of punches, Pacio was able to defeat Brooks via TKO in the second round at 4:22.

The stacked ONE 171 event took place on Thursday, and MMA News has you covered with all the action!

ONE Championship was back in Qatar this week, where the Lusail Sports Arena played host to a number of intriguing battles across four different sports.

Asia’s premier martial arts organization brought with it to the Middle East a deep lineup, filled with champions and plenty of prominent names in MMA, Muay Thai, kickboxing and submission grappling.

And there were championship stakes in the first of those sports that headlined ONE 171, with Filipino strawweight kingpin Joshua Pacio and American standout Jarred Brooks completing their trilogy by unifying the title.

While “The Monkey God” dethroned “The Passion” back in 2022, the rematch saw the belt return to Pacio after Brooks was disqualified for an illegal slam. Having since captured the interim strap with a first-round submission of Gustavo Balart last August, Brooks had his sights on regaining undisputed status.

But the American failed in that regard, with Pacio overcoming a strong start from his challenger to find the TKO finish late in the second frame.

Gold from a different sport was also be on the line in Qatar. After losing his Muay Thai strap in Denver last year, Jonathan Haggerty ensured he kept hold of his remaining title by defending the bantamweight kickboxing championship against Chinese challenger Wei Rui.

Elsewhere, former two-division KSW champion Roberto Soldi? made his long-awaited return, Kill Cliff FC standout Aung La N Sang added a 46th fight to his illustrious record, ex-bantamweight kingpin Bibiano Fernandes closed out his career with one last bout and submission grappling star Kade Ruotolo competed in MMA for the third time.

With today’s card complete, see below for the full results, followed by all the highlights.

Jarred Brooks lands interim ONE Championship crown, submits Gustavo Balart - ONE Fight Night 24 Highlights

Former ONE Championship strawweight champion, Jarred Brooks can call himself a champion once more – albeit interim, laying waste to opponent, Gustavo Balart in quickfire fashion with a first round rear-naked choke in the main event of ONE Fight Night 24 in Bangkok, Thailand.

Brooks, a former undisputed strawweight champion under the banner of ONE Championship, headlined last night’s Lumpinee Stadium show in Thailand against Balart, with the former the only eligible party to win interim spoils after a pre-fight weight miss for his opponent.

And laying waste to Balart in the opening round, Jarred Brooks, an alum of the UFC, Bellator and Rizin FF – locked up a rear-naked choke with just 21-seconds remaining in the first frame, forcing a tap and crowing himself as the interim champion – to end the promotion’s Fight Night 24 event in Bangkok.

In the night’s co-headliner, Mayssa Bastos won the atomweight submission grappling crown against incumbent champion, Danielle Kelly over the course of 10 minutes – winning a unanimous decision victory in their one round matchup.

On a card littered with its fair share of decision matchups, two early clashes of the night provided some eye-catching first round finishes.

Landing a 49-second KO win in their Muay Thai matchup at the atomweight limit, Amy Pirnie laid waste to Yu Yau Pui, before Aliff Sor.Dechapan stopped Zakaria El Jamari inside two minutes with a blistering high-kick knockout win.

Jarred Brooks has achieved great success since departing the UFC and signing with ONE Championship, where he currently competes in the strawweight division.

After losing his belt via disqualification at ONE 166 earlier this year, he is set to return at ONE Fight Night 24 in an interim title fight with Gustavo Balart. In the meantime, Brooks recently put together his perfect fighter in an interview with FightWave.

He picked out which fellow athletes he would combine in order to build an unbeatable force of nature based off naming certain fighters renowned for their specialist skills…

Jarred Brooks Says Picking Jon Jones For Each Category Would Build A Perfect Fighter

Brooks started with his own specialist field, the grappling realm, where he picked two names who also compete in ONE Championship.

Garry Tonon was one of the top submission grapplers in the world before making the move to competing in MMA, a venture that Kade Ruotolo has also recently embarked on.

Brooks has said multiple times that his dream fight would be against the legendary Demetrious Johnson, who is the flyweight champion in ONE. He picked both “Mighty Mouse” and Merab Dvalishvili for cardio.

In the boxing ranges, he named two featherweights who could be lined up to face one another in the near future as Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway continue to trade words on social media.

Brooks also didn’t take long to name his pick for which fighter he would want for their kicking game, taking the consensus greatest of all time, Jon Jones.

After adding “Bones” to his create-a-fighter, Brooks went on to say that, in reality, the correct answer to this question would be to pick the UFC heavyweight champion for each category.

“It’s Jon Jones, period, though. 100 percent, and I’ve watched him since I was 12.”

Jones has held the UFC’s heavyweight gold since his divisional debut in Las Vegas last March, which saw him submit Ciryl Gane in quick time.

The Rochester native is expected to make his first defense against Stipe Miocic this November at Madison Square Garden, a year on from their canceled showdown in New York City.
