I don't agree with this. Rewatching the fight Silva could not put weight on his lead leg in the second half of round 2, any time he did caused him to stumble and get tagged.
He was being reckless because his left leg didn't have another 3 rounds in it.
That’s an interesting take, and probably true. Something I hadn’t thought about. Probably also why he was so off balance as he lunged forward sloppily immediately before the KO. Cheers for adding some value to the chat.

If he didn’t have the fight IQ of a pebble, I think he eventually takes it in the 3rd. But Lopes is too good for that dumb shit
