4 years agoClaudio Silva ran into a roadblock on his path to the top 15, dropping a unanimous decision to James Krause. With top-notch grappling, Silva attempted 12 takedowns but was only successful on two of them. He also had a poor striking output, landing 29% of his strikes. Silva tallied only 64 significant strikes (66 total). The 38-year-old Brazilian is actually older than Krause, but he has less MMA miles on his body, so we should see Silva back in there soon. Silva will continue to use the playbook that got him to the UFC and got him wins in the UFC, and that has come by securing big-time submissions for the win.--Matt Bricker - RotoBaller
