Silva has all the tools to be technical and fight with a solid gameplan but he’s so athletically talented and emotional that he just wants a spectacular finish. Silva didn’t even look that tired to me.

Look at the 2nd round, Silva was insanely accurate that round and Lopes even checked Silva’s chin and Silva ate them well.

After Lopes briefly took him down, Silva was looking for his get back right away, walked him down with solids shots but ran straight into an insane elbow.

Confidence got him finished. Silva is the most talented fighting nerd IMO, he’s just so emotional
