Yoshinofuji won today despite losing both of his contact lenses during his
bout. He faced Takanoshou and although the Gyoji  initially gave him the
win, a monoii was called, and the match was ruled a draw, resulting in a
rematch. In the rematch, he was pushed back after his opponent got a deep
left hand grip, but he decisively executed a kubinage from the right,
saying it was a "spur of the moment" thing. In the first match, "both of my
contact lenses fell out, and my vision was blurry." His eyesight was
impaired, but he still managed to win the second bout. "Even in keiko, I
can lose them in the first or second match, and by the end I can lose them
both. I can hit with more force that way," he said, unfazed.
