ONE Championship debutant Amy Pirnie shared an emotional moment with ONE Fight Night 24 opponent Yu Yau Pui after their show-opening atomweight Muay Thai clash last Friday, August 2.
In a video shared by ONE on Instagram, the KF 1 star met Pirnie backstage to apologize for her shortcomings in their fight.
Yu tearfully told Pirnie:

"I'm so sorry that I didn't do my best."
Doing her best to console the distraught Yu, Pirnie said:
"You did do your best. It's okay. We'll meet again.
Yu responded in closing:
"Yeah, again. Again."
Yu was hoping to improve her undefeated ONE record to seven straight wins by taking control of the action early on, at the expense of the Inferno Muay Thai Gym Glasgow product.
However, Pirnie caught her with a left hook to the jaw that gave the decorated Scottish star a 49-second knockout victory in her ONE debut.
