He has done what was asked of him by stepping up & taking a short notice fight vs Imavov & then he fought Abus Magomedov who was unranked, so that looked like another favour he did the company. Like it or not, the UFC repays those favours.
As such, splits either way vs quality opponents like Hermasson, Cannonier, Dricus, Costa & the Adesyana upset & its publicity more than qualify him for a quick route back to a title shot, with "them", & most of the reasonable fans.
I say that as a recent challenger & former champ, two top 5 wins in a row puts him right back in there, regardless if anyone likes his cautious/frustrating style or not.
Not every champ is spectacular, not every MMAst is as magical as Silva once was.
He has now proven he can do 15 championship rounds in reasonable comfort, you cant ignore the level of toughness & talent it takes to do that, if you respect the sport that is.
