Rd1... Thales actually dropped Nate with a strike to gain full mount. Nate worked to half guard, Thales got side control and Nate escaped.
Rd2... Very late in round 2 (only 15 sec left in the round), Nate attempts a very, for lack of a better term, ugly shoot on Thales, only to get sidestepped and taken down. Pretty ugly. Not due to any takedown skills of Thales; more due to a bumbling shot attempt by Nate.
Rd3... Nothing even remotely close to a takedown by Thales.
