Is Denice Zamboanga fighting at ONE 167 after Stamp Fairtex pulled out with an injury?

On June 7, ONE Championship will return to the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, for ONE 167. In the main event, Denice Zamboanga was scheduled to challenge her close friend and former training partner Stamp Fairtex for the ONE women's atomweight MMA world title.

Unfortunately, Stamp suffered a torn meniscus in her left knee, forcing her to pull out of the intriguing matchup. Zamboanga had the option to face a replacement opponent in a non-title matchup, which she accepted.

At ONE 167, 'The Menace' will face the gritty Noelle Grandjean. 'Lil Monkey' last fought on May 3 when she faced Chihiro Sawada at ONE Fight Night 22.

The June 7 event, including Zamboanga vs. Grandjean and Tawanchai PK Saenchai's defense of the ONE featherweight Muay Thai world title vs. Jo Nattawut in the main event, can be seen live and for free by American and Canadian viewers with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
