High Speed Champion Yuna Mizumori has struck back. The signing ceremony for her third title defense (March 31st, Korakuen Hall) took place on the 28th before the Miyagi Yume Messe Miyagi event, and she attended along with Rian. The challenger emphasized, "I beat Yuna Mizumori in the first round of the Cinderella Tournament. I was so happy to win then, and it gave me a lot of confidence."
She suffered a direct pinfall loss at the 3.6 Nagoya tournament, which led to this challenge. Furthermore, Rian declared forcefully, "But that's not enough for me. I want the High Speed belt. So on 3.31, I will defeat Mizumori Yuna again and become the High Speed Champion!"
The reigning champion, on the other hand, said, "Rian has been stepping on my feet all this time until today. 88 times..." After the March 15 Yokohama event, she was attacked and had her feet stepped on repeatedly, regardless of the location. Some of these incidents were uploaded daily on the organization's official social media, but it seems she was stepped on more times than expected..
Mizumori further revealed, "The damage to my leg is so bad that I can only manage one hit to the ropes. And that's affecting my weight too." Her officially announced weight had been 60 kg until recently, but she confessed during a match that it was 61.9 kg. Her official website was subsequently corrected. In other words, the 1.9 kg weight gain is also a result of Rian's leg-damaging technique
Nevertheless, she encouraged herself by saying, "I can definitely feel the momentum Rian has gained since Cinderella, and I'm definitely being pushed to the limit. But overcoming this adversity is what makes me a high-speed champion!" She then stood up and provoked Rian by saying, "Come at me with all you've got!" This time, she skillfully dodged Rian's stomping attack and retaliated by stomping on Rian's right foot
The decisive battle is just around the corner
