Silva would have chuteboxed his arse back to where he came from regardless; Houston showed he has one trick, BUM RUSH and that's all folks, if it doesn't succeed, he loses period. Silva showed us he is the next Shogun/Wandy and is probably the most underated LHW right now in the division, (cause he's Brazilian and doesn't speak much English so he's hard to promote to a rather ignorant crowd of Chuckhuggers).

Why didn't he step in and stop the fight ?, hmmm. Maybe this guy used his "sight beyond sight" to look into houston's body, sees only one kidney and alerted his buddies the N.J. comission. :) Nick Diaz. pride 33. the head of the Nevada athletic comission is there and later claims he could tell Nick Diaz was high during the fight.
