Joshua Pacio faces Jarred Brooks in trilogy fight at ONE 171

ONE strawweight world champion Joshua Pacio of Lions Nation MMA will settle the score once and for all with ONE interim strawweight titleholder Jarred Brooks when they share the cage for the third time in the co-main event of ONE 171 on February 20 in Qatar.

Pacio and Brooks first met inside the cage when the Filipino defended his belt against the latter in the main event of ONE 164 in December 2022 where Brooks emerged victorious via unanimous decision.

A rematch took place last March in a fight that ended in a disqualification after the brash American performed an illegal slam that left Pacio defenseless on the canvas. The result was enough for Pacio to get his belt back.

In the main event, kickboxing star Jonathan Haggerty will defend his ONE bantamweight kickboxing world title against Wei Rui.
