On August 3, 2024, Beijing time, ONE Championship, an internationally renowned sports IP, will bring "ONE: Summit Series 24" to fans. Hong Kong's Yu will take on Amy Pirnie in an atomweight Muay Thai bout to set a new seven-bout winning streak.
Although the 31-year-old Pirny is making her ONE Championship debut, she has a wealth of international tournament experience, a 26-4 professional record, and a 10-bout knockout winning record. Yu Lung-pei: "Actually, I heard about Pirny a long time ago because she is a very famous female fighter. She is very strong and very powerful. I know she has a lot of experience on the international stage and definitely has the ability to knock out. I consider myself to be in a position to be a dog (not favored). ”
Pirny has 30 games to play, but she has been away from the ring for three years, while Yu has been very active in recent years. Yu used sharp punch combinations and tireless striking to rack up a five-bout winning streak in "ONE Friday Fight Night Series," earned multiple performance bonuses, and earned a full-fledged contract. Yu defeated WBC Muay Thai and ISKA Kickboxing World Champion Lara Fernandez in a press-pressing three-round victory at "ONE: Pinnacle Series 20" to earn her sixth straight victory in ONE Championship. The winning streak doesn't put extra pressure on Yu, who focuses on her fighting skills themselves. "I'm not the type of person who is afraid of losing. I don't think anyone can go undefeated in their entire career. There are many opponents who are stronger than you and smarter than you, and one day you will be defeated. The question is how you view failure and how you see it as an opportunity to grow, learn, and improve yourself. That's all that matters. ”
Yu studied her opponent carefully before the match and found her strengths. "Pirny is a very experienced fighter, but it takes a lot of energy to maintain such a muscular body and keep fighting. Because she hasn't been in the ring for a long time, I'm probably better fit and in shape than hers. I don't like to predict how the game will go. I know anything can happen in the ring, anything is possible. I'm going to speak with my fighting performance! "Yu has taken the initiative in past fights with her relentless courage and superb combination skills, and has been pressuring her opponent from the moment the bell rings until she is crushed. The perpetual motion machine's physical strength is the key to her success. Yu Lupei's fiery style of play is related to her daily training style. "I have a fast pace of boxing, and my gym training mode is more traditional, mainly sandbags and physical training, which lays a good foundation for my physical fitness."
Yu is poised to continue her winning streak and earn a World Title shot at Atomweight Muay Thai World Champion Allycia Hellen Rodrigues. "Rodriguez is strong. She also has a very strong mentality. I have a lot of respect for her. If I get a challenge, I'll try to beat her in the third or fourth round. ”
Do you think Yu Lung-pei can win seven in a row?
