Hmm the writers may be factoring in Nick's psychological state to his level of fighting. He's gone through the death of his mother, the loss of the woman he loved and he's had to deal with the responsiblities of a father. If I were him, my head wouldn't be in the fighting game, so perhaps the writers were trying to downplay his fighting skills to match that psychological profile. It's not to say that he's getting weaker, it's just that his thoughts are elsewhere right now.

On the topic of Monroe taking out the Anubis before Nick had a chance, I think that was the writers' way of giving Monroe's character closure over his uncle's death; nothing more :D
