Well Suarez isn't in there taking punches and trainers say a lot of stuff to keep their fighters motivated. But I think Freitas knew in his heart that he wasn't ok, and that the fight wasn't going to turn his way. So you want a trainer to throw a fighter in there who's getting hammered for hope that he'll gain a second wind Well DIaz was still in his first win and by that logic his second wind would outweigh Popo's if he had to dig. Either way, Popo wasn't going to win that fight and was gonna keep getting hammered. What you'll never know also is how seriously Freitas could have been injured. Supposed he goes out there and gets seriously damaged then people talk about he should have stopped fighting before he got hurt real bad but at least he went out on his shield right However if he quits on his stool like he should if he is really hurting(and he knows it far better then his trainer) He's called a punk and a quitter. So he is damned twice no matter what he does, the only problem is he may not live to regret the latter. Think about it man.
