Denice Zamboanga captured the interim atomweight MMA world title and came away $50,000 richer in the aftermath of ONE Fight Night 27 last weekend.
'The Menace' joined Luke Lessei as the two recipients of the massive performance bonus bounty after she starched Alyona Rassohyna with some vicious ground and pound to claim 26 pounds of gold.
An avid motorcycle hobbyist when she's not competing, Zamboanga revealed that it's about time she purchased a new vehicle using the spoils of her hard-earned victory.
The Philippines' first female MMA world champion shared during her ONE Fight Night 27 post-event interview:

"I think I'm gonna get my car because I have wanted to get one since last year. But now I got the bonus, I can get my own car. I have my motorcycle already."
Denice Zamboanga certainly loves to live life in the fast lane, which showed in arguably the greatest performance of her professional career.
The 27-year-old Filipina did not let up as soon as the bell rang and punished Rassohyna on the feet. The new interim atomweight MMA queen also showed no fear against the Ukrainian submission specialist on the ground, as she beat her at her own game.
