Silva had no way of advancing position. So he conserved energy while his opponent expended it.
I fail to see how Chael is really getting flak for his round 1. The comment was in comparison to people "giving Chael so much credit" for the first round.

I actually voted YES to this, but it has to be under 3 conditions:
1) Fight takes place in Brasil
2) Loser leaves weight division
3) No crying after Chael loses again
