Anything and nothing happened in the Nazare fight. Essesntially a few TDs happened and that's about it the BJJ black belt couldn't get out of half guard and mount an offense from the bottom. The decision was obvious but an amazingly uneventful fight.

It was insane that Nazare couldn't do anything in his half guard. These fake black belts are giving good JJ fighters a bad name. Just because your fighter is doing well in MMA doesn't mean you should fast track him to a black belt. 

The guy on top did stall a lot though. That fight should have been stood up so many times (and I generally hate stand ups).

It was depressing to say the least, especially because I thought it was a sure-fire win to pick Nazare.

Yup. I hate seeing prospects I like go up in flames.
