Then rewatch the Silva fight, he definitely had great moments and he an awesome finish, but he was in danger of getting finished by a mma journeyman in the striking no less, and Silva seemed for the most part content in playing in Saki's world. Saki's striking isn't going to be as effective when guys are actively looking for takedowns and make him cautious to go all out or at the very least make him less explosive by making him tired from the grind of clinching, pushing against the cage, and defending take downs.
