First of all, in the post-interview he said the knee was no big deal - go rewatch the interview. Second, the above quote is a personal opinion regarding what Thales "would do", hence why I said what I said in a previous post.

Here's the exact quote you responded to.

The only reason he said he was OK to fight again itīs because he thought they would have given Marquadt the win. If he knew that Marquadt would be disqualified if he couldnīt continue fighting, I think he wouldnīt wanna fight because he was rocked big time.

See, he never said what Leites would have wanted to do, only what he thought.
And here's what Leites said.

When the referee stopped it and he was asking me, "Do you want to fight?" In my mind I was thinking, if I say no, the ref is going to stop the fight and give a victory to Nate and so every time I would look at the referee and say "No, I want to fight, I'm 100%", but I wasn't. As everybody could see that I wasn't 100% but I was saying every time, "I'm OK, I'm OK" because I didn't know what happened.

Seems logical to me that he only said he was ok cause he thought he would have lost if he didn't.
