Huge comeback. GSP took advantage early with effective wrestling and GnP. Wanderlei knew he was down going into the 5th, so he went ultra-aggressive and did HUGE damage, taking over the fight and getting the finish. These guys are elite. This fight was elite. This card has been very, very good. Almost...what's the word....ELITE
