A higher level opponent doesn't necessarily mean he has better GnP.
It looked to me like DM didn't care that much about getting a punch here and there. He stayed calm and that's what an elite BJJ guy needs to succeed in MMA.

Marquardt had already been rocked bad. And wasn't controlling Silva in anyway.
That's like saying Robbie Lawler has awesome GnP, look at his fight with Tiki. (grab your old DVDs)...

Silva has better takedown defense?!
I'm sorry, I like Silva and some of his haters have annoyed me big time, but that's just ridiculous.
