The One
Championship
interim 125-pound mixed martial arts world
championship was up for grabs, but only for one half of the

One on Prime Video 24
main event.

American Jarred
Brooks
took on Cuba’s Gustavo
Balart
. While Brooks (21-3) made weight, Balart (12-5) came in
a pound over the promotion’s 125-pound limit and was thus
ineligible. The fight went on, though, and Brooks was given extra
motivation to defeat his overweight foe for championship gold.

„The Monkey God“ wasted no time putting Balart on his back by
securing a takedown after the opening bell rang. This gave Brooks a
blueprint to follow, as he was clearly the superior grappler.
Balart would give up his back late in the first round. This led to
a rear-naked choke that ended the night for „El Gladiador.“

The tap came at 4:39 of Round 1. Brooks previously held the One
strawweight championship before losing it to Joshua
Pacio
via disqualification earlier this year. Brooks then
called out Pacio and Demetrious
Johnson
after his victory.
