You know, as much as Silva wasn't pressing the fight, that's his style and he's not the only one who wasn't pushing the offense the whole time. Could he have gone in and ended it quick? Probably, but he doesn't generally fight that way and there's no reason he should press the fight if he doesn't feel he has to to win. Unless you're talking about him basically taunting Maia, but I could care less about that; psyching out your opponent goes with the territory.

In the end though, if fans want more action in his fights then they should probably be asking why Dana White didn't give him an opponent that could provide a challenge, because Maia wasn't even close to being in Silva's league. It's not like it's the first time it's happened either.
I disagree. There's taunting, and then there's what he did. It was pretty much just him sidestepping the whole time.
To be fair to Maia, he did try to go on the offense in the last round, but as usual, Silva just dodged it and carried on sidestepping. It was a terrible fight, and I have no respect for Silva after that over the top taunting that went on for the whole fight.
