As the round comes to an end the crowd are showing their appreciation for a great round of action.
Silva looking to take his opponent's legs away with the low kicks.
Oooooooooooh, not good. A low kick from Matazz lands where it shouldn't have, right in the... well, you know what he did? He kicked him in the penis. He's injured, injured bad. The referee sends both fighters to their corners and Silva has 5 minutes to recover. He's OK now though... a thumbs up from Silva and we're back underway with a touch of gloves.
And that's the end of the fight!
I would just about give that final round to Lucas Silva .
I think Silva has won this one but let's see whether the judges agree with me. 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 Stewart Dunkirk scores the fight 28:29
Judge Chris Downing scores the fight 28:29
Judge Wesley Smith scores the fight 28:29
In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Lucas Silva !
