Aftermath

During the bout between Ludwig and Sudo, action was halted by the referee in order to have Ludwig's facial lacerations assessed by the ringside doctor. Albeit Ludwig was in the bottom position on the mat before the halt, the action continued standing up which prompted a rule change: the action should be restarted from the same position where it was halted.[1]
