Newly crowned undisputed ONE women's atomweight MMA world champion 'The Menace' Denice Zamboanga of the Philippines isn't one to enter her fights guns blazing without a plan. In fact, the Quezon City resident says developing a strategy for every specific opponent is crucial to getting the win.
Speaking to veteran MMA reporter Nick Atkin of Bangkok Post in a recent interview, Zamboanga talked about using her brains to get victories.
'The Menace' said:
"Actually, I was trying to improve every single fight, and also now I am very careful of what game plan I should do in my fight. Unlike before, where the game plan was not very clear. So now every training that I'm doing is really important."
