After 10 minutes of a bloody slugfest between Smealinho Rama and Jamie Abdallah , their fight essentially was moot – or so we thought for about a minute. Then the controversy started. Both Rama and Abdallah needed a finish in the first or second round in order to make the light heavyweight playoffs. A finish in the third round for either of them wouldn’t be enough. But after the second round, a cageside doctor shut the fight down after checking the damage to Abdallah’s (7-4) face and left orbital. That gave Rama (11-4) the win by TKO – at the 5:00 mark of the second round, which put him into the playoffs.
