Wilson lost to Henrique Da Silva via TKO (strikes) at 4:11 of Round 2 at UFC 199 on Saturday in Los Angeles.
ANALYSIS
What a difference a fight makes. After steamrolling Chris Dempsey in 50 seconds in his UFC debut last August, he could get little going in this fight against the debuting Brazilian. Wilson landed the only takedown of the bout and he landed more total strikes than Da Silva, but Da Silva was far more active and end result was Wilson tiring and being unable to defend himself after Da Silva mounted him late in Round 2. Many knowledgable people thought Wilson was a legitimate prospect in a dreary UFC light heavyweight division, but he took a clear step backwards on Saturday.
