I don't think Dan has ever been "caught" with a shot before actually. He has always had excellent stand up and will surprise Anderson if Silva thinks he can just do whatever he wants there.
Also, Lutter taking Silva down and passing was after Silva was coming off knee surgery. Nate Marquart couldn't do that to Silva and Nate is a much better fighter than Travis IMO.
I think Silva should be focusing on keeping his angles and working Dans legs early in the fight. Silva doesn't want it to turn into a brawl, keep it nice and clean. Henderson should throw shots to the body of Silva. Silva is a tall lanky fighter and I think Dan can find some success by working the body and then going for a clinch takedown once Anderson has lost some steam.
