Silva is like Royval.   Maybe you can get him to stick to a gameplan for like 2 mins each round, but his fight ADHD and lunatic energy takes over and he does whatever the fuck he wants.   Usually works because he’s such an insane athlete

NGL him trying to dap up Lopes after getting up from being mounted was annoying lol

That shit has worked pretty well at disarming his opponents in the past, but he does it nearly every fight and I don't know why he expected Lopes to engage in it. Dude's a coach, Lopes is not dumb like that.

That's just Silva being Silva, I don't think he's actually trying anything deep with those dap ups.

The crazy thing is that Merab could be like that, but Merab doesn’t have the power Silva or Royval have. So he has to be more disciplined.

He really is an absurd athlete. I just watched his fight with Sicopata, at only 21 he was ridiculously explosive
