And, as outclassed standing as Maia, at least he wanted to fight. This fight just proves the need for Yellow Cards.
What are you smoking? There is no challenge for Silva at Middleweight. NONE. That includes GSP. I see GSP taking him down once, maybe twice and then getting owned on the ground.

Or make him run a murder's row of opponents on a breakneck schedule.
He's not fighting Machida because they are BFFs.

Its really a win-win for him no matter what he does.
Basically.

I love Wanderlei, but I don't think he could take AS. AS is just way too crisp. The only chance Wanderlei would have would be if he was able to catch him and stun him for a second... Wanderlei is like a shark, if he smells blood, he'll go nuts... I think getting the needed shot in though would be a big problem.

Lesnar would crush AS, not standing up, but in the take downs. Lesnar is so fucking fast for his size that I don't think As could avoid the takedowns.
Wandy is done. He'd get killed in a fight with Anderson. He's just enough of a threat to make him do work, but not enough to stand a chance of winning. Lesnar might get caught in the stand up game. Sure his takedowns are fast, but he's not that fast. It's not like Silva won't be fighting back.

Basically... again. I love you, Reav. He has all the talent in the world, but it seems like he feels he's done everything already so he isn't trying at all. Since outside of Shogun and his homie Machida, there isn't a lot of talent within his own weightclasses so unless he's fighting the heavyweights there is no incentive to do more than coast on points. However, you put him on the prelims a few times and I'm sure his ego is going to get in the way of all that coasting and suddenly we have spectacular KOs again.
