Wulamu was face first on the canvas after being knocked down by the headbutt. He stood up on on very unsteady legs and was a bit confused. He also complained of pain on the side of his head and was assessed to have a concussion which resulted in the fight being immediately stopped by referee Danrex Tapdasan.
