Honestly, Weidman knows how to make Silva uncomfortable, put the pressure on and beat him to the punch. It was evident from the first round of the first fight. Silva has very good takedown d for a guy who's not a wrestler... in the first roudn of this fight he really did well in beginning fending off Weidman, he only ended up on the ground because he got drilled. The problem is, he has to worry about defending the take down and constant pressure and can't find his striking rhythm. Chris throws him off his game and has his number, it couldn't be anymore clear.
Dana was even saying, Silva actually cracked his shin on the first check, and then threw another leg kick and broke his leg. Those checks were designed to hurt, and this fight, much like the first, was no fluke.
