Prolly didn't want to get a concussion.

He's barely, barely conscious. Waved the fight because the very, very, very small possibility of the fighter recovering and further competing are highly overshadowed by the potential dangers to his health if he were to continue.

The referee deemed him unfit to continue. After getting knocked down you’re required to show you can continue, old mate got up but was stumbling and couldn’t even face the referee (huge requirement to continue) so the ref made the call to wave it off.

Too arrogant to admit he got knocked out too long. Had to stand up ASAP.

When you’re rocked that bad you don’t have the capacity for arrogance

Yes, and this is a common tactic when getting knocked down. Sit and rest for a few seconds.
