ONE Championship atomweight MMA standout and current second-ranked contender 'The Menace' Denice Zamboanga of the Philippines is a global warrior, having trained both locally in her home country and abroad in a handful of well-renowned gyms.
The Filipina warrior spent years in Thailand, training out of the renowned Fairtex Training Center in Pattaya, and for a brief period, at Marrok Force in Bangkok.
A couple of years ago, however, 'The Menace' decided to return to the Philippines, and she hasn't looked back.
Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Zamboanga talked about her decision to leave Thailand and return to her roots in Quezon City.
