Nishikifuji Ryūsei

Kimbozan gets the win, goes to six and two.

Oho, very nasty but effective, not over neck thrust, took Nishikifuji over the veils.

gets three and five.

Nishiki Fuji, two and six.

Three and one for Asanayama.

Ura, he faced Nishikifuji and showed he is still super fast and balanced, even on the retreat.

A big tachiai, Nishikifuji chased and thrust hard at Ura.

Ura just retreated around the ring super fast.

He was under pressure, but then he retired, uh, returned fire, thrust hard with his forearm, knocking Nishikifuji to the bales, where he stepped out over with another push, a little bit of momentum there.

Oshidashi win for Ura, three and one.

Nishikifuji, one and three.

Now, look, I'm building a little bit of faith back in Wakamotoharu's technique again.

Rogga's strength and endurance, look, it's a big factor, uh, in his wins.

Uh, Asanayama, Nishikifuji, they met up.

Big tachi ai by Nishikifuji as he drives with his forearms.

Asanayama's off balance as Nishikifuji withdraws, and he has to chase him.

Nishikifuji goes thrusting at Asanayama.

He's trying to catch and get in on Nishikifuji.

Nishikifuji gets the belt and pulls Asanayama, but he can't get him off balance, and so he starts to thrust at him again.

Asanayama is trying to get in on the belt as Nishikifuji converts himself to a belt grip.

Anyway, Fujiseun, he's riding high at makushita seven.

Uh, [laughs] Nishiki, Nishikifuji is up five spots though, 'cause last time he got a 10-5 sitting at makushita 13, so he is up to makushita seven.

So he had a good tournament last time, but that is probably the benefit of where he was wrestling is really towards the bottom, and he's definitely a veteran kind of middle rank kind of dude.

So he'll probably go back to that 9-6 or an 8-7.

He'll probably sit middle of the rank again.

Um, but I like Nishikifu- Nishikifuji anyway.

He's a cutie, and apparently has a very nice voice, so.

That's right.
