Silva unleashed his fury on Soa Palelei in a heavyweight bout on Saturday night at UFC 190 overpowering him with vicious strikes and getting the TKO at the 41-second mark of the second round.
If the finish appeared similar to his win over Alistair Overeem, it was for a reason.
"About 10 minutes ago I was watching my fight with Overeem," Silva (19-7, 1 NC) said. "I was watching the fight and I knew I'd do the same thing."
Palelei got the better of things in the first round, as he ended on top after a scramble and landed solid blows from the top.
