The crowd are going absolutely nuts as the round comes to an end - what a fantastic round of action!
Rampage throws a strike from the bottom that misses.
Rampage has hold of Suzuki's hands but Suzuki slips his arm to the side and lands an elbow.
And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Kyle Rampage.
I think Suzuki has won this one but let's see what the judges have to say. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Jeff Smith scores the fight 29:28
Judge Colin Fray scores the fight 29:28
Judge Micheangelo Fripello scores the fight 29:28
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Daisuke Suzuki!
