WATCH: Denice Zamboanga chalks up biggest win of her career in stunning upset of Japanese star Mei Yamaguchi

After making a dream debut in ONE Championship by beating Malaysian contender Jihin Radzuan, Filipina MMA star Denice Zamboaga was pitted against seasoned fighter Mei Yamaguchi in February 2020 at ONE: King of the Jungle card, which went down inside the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Zamboanga pulled off a massive victory over Yamaguchi after a unanimous decision nod from the judges. ONE Championship published her highlights from that match on YouTube, with the description:

"A SENSATIONAL display 🔥 Relive the best action from Filipina superstar Denice Zamboanga's incredible performance against Japanese veteran Mei Yamaguchi at ONE: KING OF THE JUNGLE in 2020!"

'The Menace' showcased her wrestling pedigree by stopping the majority of Yamaguchi's takedown attempts and punishing the former DEEP Jewels Featherweight Champion with vicious striking combinations.

Zamboanga's best moments during the match were the near finishes with the choke and ground and pound that persuaded the judges to award her the victory.

Since that win over 'V.V,' the Filinpina MMA sensation has won four more fights to climb up the women's atomweight MMA rankings and be the number two-rated divisional contender.

The T-Rex MMA representative recently talked to One Sports for an interview, and one of the points of discussion is her preparation for her upcoming ONE interim women's atomweight MMA world title match against Alyona Rassohyna on Jan. 10 at ONE Fight Night 27.

According to Zamboanga, she will be sacrificing the celebrations of Christmas and New Year this year to stay locked in her camp, especially keeping in check of her food intake, as she stated:

"Of course, we all know that because of my training camp, I'm gonna miss the holiday festivities, from Christmas to New Year's celebrations. I can't eat that much, so of course I want to start the year by celebrating. This year, I wish to start stronger."
