Kung mayroong mga pagdududa sa kaso ni Joshua "The Passion" Pacio para sa rematch ng ONE Strawweight MMA World Championship, ipinagkibit-balikat niya muna ito.
May pahiwatig ang dating champion sa kanyang statement matapos ang unanimous decision win kontra no. 5-ranked Mansur Malachiev at ONE Fight Night 15: Le vs. Freymanov noong Biyernes sa Lumpinee Boxing Stadium sa Bangkok, Thailand.
Nang tanungin kung ang kanyang performance ang maghahatid ng susunod na laban kay Jarred "The Monkey God" Brooks, sinabi ng Lions Nation MMA stalwart na: “I think so.”
Alam ni Pacio kahit noon pa na ang resulta nang iaanunsiyo ay siya ang nagwagi mula sa pagpapaulan niya ng sipa at muntik mag-tap sa mahigpit na guillotine choke at kitang-kitang siya ang nanaig sa bakbakan. “I was throwing heavy shots and I think it’s the damage category [where I won],” aniya. “He took me down, but he didn’t damage me from my guard.”
Para sa kanya, ang kanyang ipinamalas ay hindi pa ganoon kataas ang standards at dapat mamotiba pa siya para mag-prepara at paghandaan pang mabuti ang laro. “Honestly, I’m not impressed with my performance right now. I need to go to the gym again and work harder. I was not relaxed, I was concentrating on throwing the power shots because I saw the damage and I was eager to throw those power shots, so it really got in my head that I had to finish him,” aniya.
“But that’s not how it was supposed to happen. I should have been more relaxed and threw my combinations more confidently.”
