Though the bout is best remembered as the moment eventual Light Heavyweight Champion Jones emerged as a legitimate star of the future, Bonnar actually won the third round on two of the three scorecards.<\/p>\n<p>Since mixed martial arts awards victories (either split decisions or majority decisions) to fighters who claim the win on two of the three cards, Bonnar did officially win that third round.
