Terunofuji has serious knee problems, probably requires another surgery. Which could mean sitting out who knows how many tournaments. This sucks. Mostly for him ofc, but would be good to see him gaining couple more championships.
Plus, he is the only yokozuna now, and the rest do not have in them to reach the title. Not now.
