Honestly, I think the fact that both Werdum and Silva have better ground games than anyone Fedor has faced in about five years played a part in those losses.

People like Arlovski or Rogers didn't present as many problems stylistically.

I think Fedor jumped into Silva's guard so willingly because he underestimated that aspect of Silva's game which led to him eventually getting mounted and taking the beating that ultimately stopped the fight. Hong Man Choi was even bigger than Silva, but not as skilled so Fedor had an easier time with him.
