ONE strawweight world champion Jarred Brooks doesn’t thoughts being the ‘heel’ and feeds off the criticism from his detractors.

It’s not even a facade or a personality he places on only for the digicam. ‘The Monkey God’ may care much less about what you consider him and easily desires to smash each challenger standing in the best way between him and greatness.

In a candid interview with the South China Morning Post, Brooks provided an expletive-laden response to those that don’t respect his unapologetic candor:

“I don’t care if you guys think I’m cocky. I don’t really give a fuck at this point. I’m here to make money, and I’m here to make belts, and I’m here to put entertainment on a fucking pedestal.”

Watch the complete interview:

By now, everyone knows Brooks marches to the beat of his personal drum and has risen up the 125-pound ranks on his own terms.

The Mash Fight Team standout destroyed fan favorites Lito Adiwang, Hiroba Minowa, Bokang Masunyane, and the division’s longtime overlord, Joshua Pacio.

The petulant Brooks did so with an enormous grin on his face.

Now, he desires to ragdoll one other extraordinarily common famous person and maybe add a second ONE world title to his trophy case.

The 30-year-old will forego the four-ounce gloves within the meantime, as he figures in a grappling-only bout with Mikey Musumeci for the ONE flyweight submission grappling crown within the co-main occasion of ONE Fight Night 13: Allazov vs. Grigorian on Prime Video.

The nine-fight spectacle will emanate from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok on August 4. Prime Video subscribers in North America can catch the complete card reside in US primetime freed from cost.
