Chalk another one up for Jarred Brook’s body. The UFC flyweight is now 2-0 against himself following UFC 228. Fortunately, this time he walked away with a win inside the cage before rendering himself unconscious.
The ‘Monkey God’ stepped up for his battle against fellow 125er Roberto Sanchez on just 5 days notice following the late removal of Ryan Benoit from the event. Brooks, who reportedly stays in ‘fight shape’ year-round, picked up a hard fought split decision over his opponent, overcoming a slow start to take over with wrestling and top control down the stretch.
However, while he may not have needed a full fight camp to get the job done on September 8th, the experience was still incredibly taxing.
