Amir does what you need to do when a fight is 1-1 and dominates the last round, gets him down and keeps him there, Zhuma goes for it near the end but ends up taking more shots

Yeah, not sure why he looked surprised by the decision. His corner told him he needed to win the 3rd, and it was maybe his worst round.
