Filipino atomweight MMA fighter Denice Zamboanga has steadily worked on becoming a well-rounded fighter. That has seen her become one of the athletes of note in her division and notch impressive victories along the way.

Among those wins was one over Lin Heqin in December 2022, which saw her display both finesse and power in her attacks that merited a split decision victory in the end.

ONE Championship relived the fight in an Instagram post, particulary one that had 'The Menace' unleashing a powerful and nifty combination that instantly floored Lin.
