Denice Zamboanga (ONE Championship)
Marrok Force coach William Aranguiz insisted that Filipina fighter Denice Zamboanga isn’t an underdog compared to veteran South Korean mixed martial artist Seo Hee Ham.
Aranguiz, who is also the director for MMA at the Bangkok-based stable, is confident that his ward will fare well against Seo, a former atomweight champion in the Rizin Fighting Federation.
And the Chilean MMA fighter-turned-coach would like to make a statement by contrasting commentaries from fans and analysts.
“I know a lot of fans are saying Seo Hee Ham is the favorite to win this, but we feel differently,” said Aranguiz. “I just don’t see Denice as being the underdog. I know Denice doesn’t feel that way either. Denice is one of the best fighters in the world in the atomweight division, bar none. And now is her time to shine. She is the number one contender for a reason.”
