MMAmania.com (www.mmamania.com) has received the fighter payouts for Strikeforce: "Diaz vs Noons II" from the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) for the Showtime event held at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California, on Oct. 9.

Joining him at the 50k mark was former Lightweight Champion Josh Thomson. "The Punk" was also awarded fifty grand for squeaking past promotion newcomer Gesias "JZ" Cavalcante ($40,000).
