MAN, I miss work for one day, and “Mr. KJ Noons” is running his mouth about Nick Diaz? WTF Does this kid know who he is, and does he know who Nick is? I will be the first to admit the Nick Diaz is right up there with my #1 favorite fighters, so I’m a lil biased, but I’ll try not to be.

Ever since the fight of Nick’s life, the Gomi fight of course, he just has not been the same. The fight against Mike Aina – that decision could have EASILY went to the hometown favorite, Mike Aina. I was actually suprised that Nick won. The fight against Noon’s, again Nick did not look like himself. KJ was OWNING HIM. Nick can take a fight to the ground when he needs to, and KJ is not an experienced MMA guy, he is a boxer, so how can his sprawl be so great already. And if he’s sprawling, then clinch and trip. The cuts did not lose Nick that fight – although a late Diaz submisstion is always a possibility. I was actually worried that this lil punk KJ was going to be the first fighter to KO Nick Diaz – that would be a shame. If KJ at his best fought Nick at his best, Nick would win 10 times out of 10.

For KJ Noons to think that he caused Nick to get the surgery is just ridiculous, and shows how inexperinced Noons is. Nick’s plastic surgery involved the removal of scar tissue that was built up over years – NOT one fight. If Nick had to get facial reconstuction (Rich Franklin-like) surgery, than that would be a different story.

Simply put, Nick has not been himself since the No Contenst with Gomi. I am sure that all of this talk about him smoking trees is really stressing him out – and that’s one of the main reasons he smokes to begin with – to calm down due to stress. Nick had a scheduled fight at the last EliteXC event but couldn’t fight due to medical marijuana license. Everyone else in his camp is super motivated and on a roll. His brother Nate is won of the hottest 155 lb fighters in the stacked division – he’s yet to lose in the UFC. Gilbert Melendez the Strikeforce LW champ looks unstoppable at 155. Outside of BJ Penn, I can’t think of many 155’s that would beat him regularly. I really hope that a lot of you saw that StrikeForce on NBC episode that featured Melendez vs Clay Guida. Jake Shields has been tearing it up and finishing his fights. He’s basically the ‘uncrowned’ WW champ of EliteXC. Gilbert and Jake are not only ready to compete in the UFC, but they’d be instant contenders.

But what is wrong with Nick? Once upon a time, he was the top Cesar Gracie fighter. I don’t think that the weed alone is enough to make Nick fight the way he’s been. I think that there must be something else going on in his life that he does not mention. He’s not one to make excuses, but he also doesn’t like to give credit to a fighter when he gets beat.

I would love to see a rematch between Noons and Diaz and would love the trash talk just as much. However, the fight will not be going down anytime soon – because Noons will lose to Yves Edwards.

This is the second time typing this post, I got some Lotus Notes Pop up window that erased my 90% finished post the first time so I most likely left some stuff out…

he won due to a cut…. thats ot really fair and square in my book !

Exactly!!!! Why should he get an immediate rematch??? Work your way back up there smokey. HE gave no respect to Noons after losing that fight. Nothign but a classless fighter. Elite XC is crap anyway so maybe Diaz deserves to be the champ of crap.

hey luppers, since you think gina carano is such a talant, go read this article. This woman says she has hit 170, and that elite has a 140 pound division (which really isn’t a weight class) just for carano cause she has such a hard time making weight. And no, I’m not trying or have te power to set up a fight, and my wife is a caesar gracie blue belt. I was just commenting that carano gets publicity cause she’s cute!

Hey John, saw your Kimbo post, and believe me, I agree. He is an infant in this sport, and my point is, all these morons think he’s a good fighter because of youtube and the “let kimbo win” rules that were made up as they went. As much exposure as he’s getting, and(he used to be soft spoken) as much shit he’s talking, put up or shut up! I was on the fence, and leaning towards liking him until now. I agree, almost everyone gets ko’d with a head kick, so say yeah, it happened and I’ll learn from it. Either that or fight an under 40 year old with a winning record. He is just a whore and gary shaw is his pimp, and they will continue to line up cans until the youtube morons demand a fight. We real fans would rather see a guy lose to the best than have a 10 second win against a nobody!

i watched this fight live and like i quoted above noons was dominating him w/out the cuts. diaz tried for the takedown quite a few times and was unsucsessful. diaz did not look like his usual self that night i will give him that, but as far as the 1rst fight is concerned he got beat fair and square. nick needs to back it up w/ his fists not his mouth. his litle brother nate is the diaz to watch out for now.

Wasn’t even phased? Did you even watch the fight? Noons dropped him, and was tagging him the entire fight. Very one-sided, and the only people who think Diaz has earned a shot are just blind nuthuggers. Hell, he should have lost the fight before Noons as well.

Getting your ass stomped into the ground does NOT merit a rematch. If that is the case, then why didn’t any of you bitch when Leben didn’t get a rematch vs Anderson Silva?

kevin,

I used to have comcast and they did not carry HDNet. I have Dish now and I do have HDNet fights and Sho specifically for MMA and Shobox. You will get Inside MMA and decent fights (smaller shows and for now IFL) … I just watched Dream 1 and 2.

If you go to the HDNet site, here is their Comcast statement:

Go to http://www.hd.net/subscribe.html and see who carries it.

MMAMARK: I would have to agree. I dont even think we will ever get to see a rematch between Noons and Diaz, because Yves is going to take the title from Noons anyway!

So basically Noons is running his mouth, knowing he wont even have to fight Diaz again.

To act like he was the cause of Diaz’s surgery is a bunch of crap…I hope Diaz chokes him out with something exotic if they ever get to rematch….But I really dont think KJ wants anything to do with a rematch!

Noons was obviously beating Diaz, Diaz looked slow for some reason. The plastic surgery was to get rid of a lot of scar tissue Diaz has accumulated over his fights. Now that he’s had the surgery he shouldn’t be so easy to cut. Good’ what professional fighter wouldnt do that if they could?

Diaz will give a much better fight next time, I’m sure.

lol….did you see diaz get the shit smacked outta him or not?? you really think he`s gonna put Noons to sleep?? u smoke as much weed as Diaz i guess..

a lot of fighters get dominated in the first round but that doesnt mean they are going to lose. Look at Nog for God’s sake.
