ONE Championship: Hongkonger KO’d after 49 seconds as six-fight winning streak snapped
- Yu Yau Pui has won fans due to her aggressive style and likes to constantly pressurise opponents
Hong Kong fighter Yu Yau Pui was knocked out inside 49 seconds at ONE Fight Night 24.
Facing Amy Pirnie in an atomweight Muay Thai bout that opened the show, she was stopped inside the opening minute.
Pui had won six ONE Championship fights in a row coming into this contest and there was talk of a title shot, but was knocked out here with a left hook.
Pui has won fans due to her aggressive style and likes to constantly pressurise opponents. It backfired badly here as she walked straight into a devastating show from the Scottish fighter, who was returning to the ring after a three-year absence.
Meanwhile, Jarred Brooks submitted Gustavo Balart in the opening round to claim the interim strawweight title – and was also awarded a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) black belt in the immediate aftermath of the victory.
