I'll say no way, if TJ had finished him in the first after that knockdown then maybe there would be more of a case for it. Even so I think I'd be harsh on TJ.
I found it amusing that in the countdown Barao or Pederneiras was saying how Nova Uniao is so packed with fighters that they have to fight in close quarters and how that will be TJ's downfall.
But then TJ uses the entire cage and cuts angles and uses footwork to beat him up. Maybe NU will be adding space to their building now.
To answer your question. No. He got outclassed. He can work his way up with 2 wins.
