ONE Championship’s new United States broadcast deal with Amazon’s Prime Video could be a big opportunity for Jarred Brooks. The new deal, revealed on Wednesday, will see at least 12 ONE Championship events broadcast on the streaming service per year – all in US prime time. Brooks, one of the promotion’s fastest rising American stars, could fit quite nicely into those plans. “It’s huge, especially for United States viewership and the things ONE is trying to accomplish,” the Detroit native told the Post on Wednesday, hours after the new broadcast deal was unveiled. “We’re definitely climbing up the ladder with that deal. We’ll see where it takes us a couple of years from now as well.” Brooks (19-2) was back in action on the main card of the ONE 156 event last Friday in Singapore, where he defeated South Africa’s Bokang Masunyane by first-round submission to assert himself as the top contender in the promotion’s strawweight division. It was as dominant as victories get, but the 28-year-old, ever the perfectionist, still has regrets. “I kind of wish it went a little bit longer, just so I could have shown people more of what I have,” he said. With his win over Masunyane, Brooks is now expected to challenge strawweight champion Joshua Pacio (20-3) for the division’s ultimate prize. “I can’t disclose too much, but it’s going to be sooner than later, that’s for sure,” he said of his planned match-up with the 26-year-old Filipino striking specialist. “I’m definitely ready for whatever Pacio wants to bring,” he added. “I studied his game, I studied the people he trains with as well. “I think I’m going to put a lot of pressure on him right out of the gate, and we’ll see where it goes from there. “If he can get past my wrestling then we’ll see what happens on the feet.” The 125-pound men’s division that Brooks and Pacio inhabit has long struggled to gain meaningful traction with American fans – to the point that the US-based UFC infamously considered dropping the weight class in 2018. ONE Championship signs 5-year US broadcast deal with Prime Video Yet Brooks believes that, with a belt around his waist and the muscle of Amazon and ONE pushing him, he can help the division catch on with the fans in his home country. “The American market is different from the Asian market,” he said. “The American market still has to really get the respect for our weight class.” “At the end of the day, I think I can definitely sell a fight no matter what,” he added. “In the United States, trust me, I’ll have the whole Midwest in there.”
