In an interview with The Sheehan Show via Sherdog's YouTube channel, 'The Menace' gave fans a sneak peek at what she is currently working on in camp:

"I'm doing sparring, in terms of drills. Focusing more on, like, drilling for now because I'm maintaining my body to make sure I don't get any injuries."

Denice Zamboanga reveals what might be her big advantage against Stamp

Despite how many fighters look to be unbeatable, their opponents know that they have some glaring holes in one part of their skillset, and the T-Rex MMA product knows exactly what it is when it comes to Stamp.

In a recent interview with ONE Championship, the No.2-ranked atomweight MMA contender pointed out that while Stamp's grappling has improved since their days as training partners, the Filipina star said that she has always been better than her in that regard:

"Ever since we started training together [at Fairtex], I've always been more knowledgeable in grappling, and I feel I can use that against her in this match."

With the spot atop the women's atomweight MMA division on the line inside the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, their world title bout will surely have no shortage of action throughout the contest.

ONE 167 will air live and for free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
