One of those fights, however, hit a snag on Thursday during the event’s official weigh-in, when Gustavo Balart failed to hit championship weight. Off by a pound at 126, that leaves only Jarred Brooks, a former UFC star and former ONE strawweight champ, eligible to win the vacant interim strawweight title on Friday.

The winner of Brooks vs. Balart would have been a lock to face champ Joshua Pacio next. And should Brooks win, a trilogy fight with Pacio will almost certainly be next. A Balart win, however, results in a big question mark at this point.

In the co-main event, submission grappling champ Danielle Kelly looked to defend her atomweight title for the first time, opposite Mayssa Bastos.

That’s because Balart (12-4) missed championship weight at Thursday’s official weigh-in, coming in a single pound heavy at 126lbs.

Both fighters passed their hydration tests.

It’s a stunning turn of events for a highly anticipated fight in the lower weight classes. Brooks (20-3, 1NC) has slowly built himself into a star for ONE Championship, winning seven fights dating back to 2018, including his final bout as a UFC flyweight. That run saw him capture strawweight gold for ONE, though he would lose the belt in a rematch with Joshua Pacio, the man he won the title off of.

A victory on Friday is an instant ticket to another fight with Pacio. For Brooks, at least. As for Balart, who enters on a four-fight win streak, should he see his hand raised, the interim belt will remain vacant.
