Even though he kept on fighting Marquadt broke the rules two more times and still didnīt win. Thales moves up, Marquadt moves down, and no rematch.
Good post I completely agree. Thales legs looked very shaky when he was saying he was okay. That was a much bigger illegal knee then Irvin and Larson took and they couldnt continue.

thales is the man, i respect him and everything but why would he deny a rematch? he clearly lost the fight but was awarded a gift decision. wouldn't he want to settle it? nate wants a rematch and the fans do as well.
