Filipina fan favorite Denice Zamboanga finally climbed to the top of the atomweight mountain at ONE Fight Night 27 on Prime Video.

Returning to the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok for ONE Championship’s first event of 2025, Zamboanga scored a sensational second-round TKO against the returning Ukrainian standout Aloyna Rassohyna to claim the interim ONE atomweight world championship.

As expected, Rassohyna frequently shot in and attempted to utilize her world-class grappling skills against the well-rounded Zamboanga. However, it was ‘The Menace’ who managed to get the upper hand on the mat, often stifling Rassohyna’s takedown attempts and putting herself into an advantageous position.

Things came to a head in the final seconds of the second round with Zamboanga secured side control in the corner of the ring and began reigning down a bevy of brutal elbows that eventually forced referee Herb Dean to step in and call for the stoppage with just 13 seconds left in the round.

Official Result: Denice Zamboanga def. Alyona Rassohyna via TKO (ground-and-pound) at 4:47 of Round 2 to win the interim ONE atomweight MMA world championship.

For her dominant showing, Zamboanga earned a $50,000 performance bonus from ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong. ‘The Menace’ also etched her name into the MMA history books as the first-ever Filipina mixed martial arts world champion.

Next, Zamboanga will look to trade in her interim title for undisputed gold when she faces the reigning ONE atomweight MMA queen, Stamp Fairtex, later this year.

ONE Championship’s Angela Lee appears unfazed about the prospect of defending her atomweight title against the Philippines ‘ Denice Zamboanga.

Zamboanga booked herself a title shot against Lee —who remains undefeated at atomweight—after comprehensively defeating one of the atomweight division’s top fighters in Mei Yamaguchi.

It was a breakout performance from the Filipina, but Lee is still uncertain if the 23-year-old is ready to take the next step.

“I think that fight showed she’s a well-rounded mixed martial artist. She’s up and coming, young and like every atomweight contender out there, she wants the belt. That’s the end goal,” Lee said in an interview with the South China Morning Post.

“We were able to see parts of her game with Mei and the fight before that. I think she’s good everywhere, but I don’t think she has what it takes to take it that next level deep – that’s where I would be testing her. But yeah, I’m excited for it whenever it does happen.”

Lee’s last outing was over six months ago at ONE: Century in Tokyo, Japan, where she successfully defended her atomweight against China’s Xiong Jingnan—who dropped down from strawweight for the fight.

The Hawaiian based fighter is keen to return to action as soon as possible and is keeping active, so she is ready to go as soon as she gets the call from ONE.

“I’ve been staying busy and staying ready so that when the call comes, I’d be ready to take it on short notice, and I think all of us fighters are itching to get back in the cage.”

At the moment, there is no set return date for ONE. However, Singapore — which is where the promotion is based — is due to begin slowly reopening from June 2 with the government laying out a three-phase plan to get the city-state up and running.

How do you see this bout going down?
