WATCH Joshua Pacio sends Yosuke Saruta into orbit with insane knee knockout

Joshua Pacio vs. Yosuke Saruta [Photo Credit: ONE Championship] Fans in Manila will see the long-awaited return of ONE Championship and hometown hero on December 3rd. Heading to the Mall Of Asia Arena, ‘The Passion’ will defend his ONE strawweight world championship against No.1-ranked contender in the ONE 164 main event. Before looking ahead to the world title showdown, ONE Championship is looking back at one of Joshua Pacio’s most spectacular knockouts. In his last outing, ‘The Passion’ delivered a brutal first-round knockout against Japanese opponent with a perfectly placed knee to the head. Watch the fight below: Meeting Pacio inside the Circle will be Jarred Brooks, a fighter who has competed for many of the top global promotions. Taking his talents to ONE Championship, ‘The Monkey God’ is undefeated under the ONE banner and secured the No.1 strawweight ranking with a first-round submission against Bokang Masunyane at ONE 156 in April.

Joshua Pacio delivered a stern warning to The Monkey God ahead of their ONE 164 clash

After months of rising tensions and trash-talk, Joshua Pacio and Jarred Brooks will finally throw hands inside the Circle come December 3rd. With the ONE world champion stepping onto his home turf, ‘The Passion’ is more than ready to defend his crown against a dangerous submission machine in Jarred Brooks. Weeks away from their scheduled scrap, Pacio delivered words of warning to his challenger: “Jarred Brooks, you’ve never fought somebody like me. This is my division. I’m not even at my peak, and I’m the best in the world. That’s a scary thing for Jarred Brooks. You will lose because of your arrogance.” Undeterred, Jarred Brooks let ‘The Passion’ know that in the sport of “kill or be killed,” ‘The Monkey God’ is ready to kill if necessary at ONE 164: “I’m ready for whatever you bring to me, man. At the end of the day, this is a kill or be killed sport, and I’m definitely ready to kill.” After months of back-and-forth, the time for talk is almost over. Will Joshua Pacio retain his ONE strawweight world title, or will the wrestling and killer instinct of Jarred Brooks be enough to dethrone ‘The Passion’ in his own backyard?
