Marrok Force MMA Coach Will Aranguiz: Denice and Drex Zamboanga Destined to Be World Champions



Wazzup Pilipinas!


Denice and Drex Zamboanga are two names MMA fans need to become familiar with, if they aren’t already. The brother-sister fighting tandem competing under the ONE Championship banner are two of the most exciting athletes in the promotion.


Denice is the #1-ranked women’s atomweight in ONE, and Drex is a former regional champion chasing a ONE World Title.


One man who has had a hand in their recent rise is Chilean fighter William Marcelo Aranguiz Lubies. Aranguiz is the Director for Mixed Martial Arts at Marrok Force in Bangkok, where Denice and Drex currently train and hone their skills.


Aranguiz has been impressed by the siblings’ work ethic since joining his gym, and believes they possess the right mindset required to reach immense success in their respective careers.







“Denice and Drex are some of the most humble and committed athletes, with a substantial focus on achieving their goal as professional fighters. They are both great team players. As an MMA director and a fighter myself, I am very proud to have them as team members, and as friends. I am grateful to have known them and that I can get to work with them,” said Aranguiz.


“They have that championship mentality. They never miss training. They follow the program thoroughly. They never let success get to their heads, nor let failure get to their hearts. They are always working very hard.”


Denice is currently hard at work, training for the upcoming ONE Women’s Atomweight World Grand Prix, of which she is one of eight women competing to become the true #1-ranked contender to the atomweight throne, and to earn the right to challenge ONE Women’s Atomweight World Champion “Unstoppable” Angela Lee later this year.


The tournament is set to commence at ONE: EMPOWER, a historic all-female fight card scheduled for Friday, 28 May.


Drex, on the other hand, is trying to stay as sharp as possible, while waiting for his next fight assignment in a stacked flyweight division.


Aranguiz has no doubt Denice and Drex can achieve their dreams because they draw strength from each other, and help each other become better fighters.


“Obviously, the biggest strength they have is each other. And they’re both willing to accept their weaknesses, as well as do everything to turn them into strengths. They listen to instruction well, and are good at being creative,” said Aranguiz.


As the siblings’ head coach, the most important part for Aranguiz is that Denice and Drex continue to improve themselves on a daily basis. Only then can they realize their full potential.


“My honest opinion is the sky’s the limit for them. They’ve already been through so much, that no matter how hard life hits them, they’ll still keep knocking down challenges, one at a time. I have no doubt they will become world champions,” Aranguiz concluded.


“As someone who has been in the game for over 10 years, I’ll be the first to say that there’s always something new to learn and improve on every day in the fight game. As part of the Marrok Force values, we are always looking for a way to improve ourselves dynamically in every aspect.”
