-There was some confusion as they came back from break. Smith and Wheelock said the ringside doctor called a stop to the fight due to the cut. It didn't appear to be much at first, but when they got in close the cut on the inside of his eye was disgusting. Zaromskis is going to win after another disappointing finish to a fight between these two.
