She notes that because of how she looks, others think she's weak, but her training was severe and she's taking on women in different weight classes throughout her whole career. Riho says she knows many who see the match-up will think Rose will win, but she has no fear going into the match. If anything, she just wants it to be a fair match, whether she wins or loses.
