Okami did a lot better than most expected here. He was actually within finishing range early on and could have actually finished GSP. But GSP was able to fight through it, last til the end of the round, recover, and come out again strong to take back the fight. Good showing by both men. But I think GSP will need an upgrade r two if he wants to win this tournament.
