Fan favorite Ura once again used one of his standard techniques to rapidly dispatch his day 8 opponent, Maenofuji. Ura ducks at the tachiai and swings to his left, circling behind his opponent and then applying a firm shove to send him to the zabuton.

With this win, Ura improves to 3-1, one win away from kachi-koshi and a winning record to start is road to recovery.
