00:00After participating in his rubber match against Jared Brooks,
00:04is there a plan to increase the weight of the one-stroke weight MMA champion Joshua Pacho
00:10to be able to compete in the flight weight division?
00:13That's what Lion's Nation MMA Star gave us in the words of my teammate Rafael Manuel.
00:22Joshua Pacho will face the biggest challenge of his career in a trilogy bout against Jared Brooks
00:29for the one-stroke weight MMA title in March at 1-1-6-6 in Qatar.
00:36Despite this, Pacho admitted in his exclusive interview with the sports banter of PTV Sports Network
00:42that the rise in the flyweight division is already in his mind.
00:46His natural weight is closer to 135 pounds,
00:51so Pacho did not deny that it will be easier for him.
00:57Well, I'm a normal flyweight.
01:00But I also want to fight in flyweight because that's really my division
01:04since I was an amateur in pro-arm.
01:08I'm really fighting in flyweight.
01:12So when the system changed,
01:14their one-championship weight cutting, I became a pro-weight.
01:19So if we say I will fight in flyweight,
01:22I don't need to lose weight.
01:25That's my normal.
01:26It's better.
01:27But even though he is open to this possibility,
01:30according to 28-year-old Baguio Native,
01:33his teammates in Lions Nation MMA, Danny Kingad, are the priority of his camp.
01:39Because of this, Pacho plans to continue his fight in the strawweight division
01:45when they can no longer fight for his teammate's one-title title.
01:51If we are given an opportunity to fight the wrong guys in flyweight
01:57and fight for the title, why not?
01:59But for me and for my team,
02:03Danny Kingad is our priority because he is my teammate
02:08and he is in the flyweight division.
02:11Meanwhile, before the long-awaited Pacho vs. Brooks 3,
02:15Brooks has something to say to the Filipino MMA fans.
02:19The former champion invited the Filipino MMA fans to watch the fight
02:23and he even studied Managalog to convey his message.
02:28To my friends and family,
02:32watch me become a world champion again.
02:35I love you all.
02:38See you in Qatar.
