The margins tell the story. Two of Silva's wins came by advantage, one by points, and one by Submission, meaning three of the five went to the referee's scorecard or beyond regulation scoring. Cook's lone win, at the 2018 Abu Dhabi Grand Slam Abu Dhabi final, also came by submission, so both of their submission finishes landed in this series.
