Good point.

The only reason he said he was OK to fight again it´s because he thought they would have given Marquadt the win. If he knew that Marquadt would be disqualified if he couldn´t continue fighting, I think he wouldn´t wanna fight because he was rocked big time.

Even though he kept on fighting Marquadt broke the rules two more times and still didn´t 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.

A gift decision? Are you kidding?
