Favors SilvaWatch the first takedown attempt from Mir: whether it lands, and how expensive it looks, tells you the shape of the fight.
Rounds two and three turn on whether Mir keeps landing takedowns at 2 per 15 minutes; if Silva stays upright, the striking rates (2.2 vs 2.9 landed per minute) take over.
Scheduled for five rounds: 25 minutes changes the pace math, and a fighter who banks two early rounds can afford to manage the fourth.
