Don't blink with this one, it's going to be a quick one. I'm going with Jones though.
As Rampage enters the arena looking focused and howling, we will get this one going then...

Jones begins the third just as he left off. Rampage doesn't seem to have any answer to the range and technique of the young champion, and definitively takes the third round as well.
