Ouch. I honestly don't see how they "blew it" though. You know that fight was going to win unless one of the other fights really stepped up, which they didn't really. All the other fights were also one-sided, or ended early. They could have maybe gave it to Alves vs. Howard, that's the one I would have voted for, but it's not like there's one fight that stands out as the fight of the night, thus with all the hype and everything surrounding this one, I don't see why it shouldn't be.
