I think we will see the more traditional Silva gameplan of waiting to counterstrike.

In his past 3 fights, Silva has hung out by the fence and picked his opponents appart with strikes as they try to get near him. Since wrestlers have the most success taking down silva in the middle of the octagon, silva will more than likely utilize the same gameplan. Silva will wait to counter strike with his back near the cage, that way he can avoid being taken down by a blast double, and he can walk walk if he gets taken down.

This is my prediction anyways.
