Was nice to see Silva bring an aggressive style like when he'd get pissed off at his opponent in his prime. But Hall was waiting and getting his timing, looking for openings. And Anderson doesn't have stopping power these days.
When you're 45 and fight with your hands at your waist you are asking to get countered. Silva does SO good fighting his style considering his age but there are still openings. There have been for years now. Impossible to employ that "matrix" style at his age without getting nailed here and there.
I think that if AS hadn't pushed the pace this would have been a staring contest. Hall was, like usual, only looking for that one big strike and content to do next to nothing until it presented itself. Anderson has good enough defense if he is focusing on it but when he starts feeling his offense too much he is vulnerable.
