Emerging ONE atomweight Muay Thai star Yu Yau Pui is quickly making a name for herself on the world stage. The 31-year-old scored a second-round knockout against TheStar Sitcho in her promotional debut last year and has since gone on a five-fight winning streak.
With a full head of momentum leading up to her clash against two-time ISKA world champion Lara Fernandez this past March at ONE Fight Night 20, Yu faced her biggest challenge under the world's largest martial arts promotion.
Fernandez's relentless aggression was of little problem to the KF 1 product though as Yu fired a push kick that caught the Spanish native off guard in round two, setting the stage for an action-packed third round.
