I'm not even so sure GSP won round 3. He had 2 takedowns in the round (SOFT takedowns I might add), and literally laid on Penn for the last 2 minutes of the fight. Penn had a sub attempt from the bottom, landed a series of blows from down there, and landed a few strikes on his feet as well. Whoever thinks GSP won round 3 then it was only for the takedowns but I think there should be some distinction made between what a soft takedown is and one that might do damage and in either case they are often way overrated by judges in the UFC.
