Khufu pressing his opponent against the cage.
With the two fighters working up against the cage, Khufu just misses with a elbow thrown towards Nadadora's brow.
And that's the end of the fight!
That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Rapido Nadadora.
I think Nadadora 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 Steven Brown scores the fight 29:28
Judge William Gold scores the fight 29:28
Judge Chris Edwards scores the fight 29:28
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Rapido Nadadora!
An out of breath Rapido Nadadora thanked his loyal fans in his post fight interview, giving them credit for his success over the course of his career.
