Well, this story developed quickly. After a weekly newsletter was sent out to fans hinting at a rematch between Nick Diaz and K.J. Noons for Diaz's welterweight belt, we now have word that the bout is official.
Strikeforce officials confirmed the fight with MMAmania.com this morning.
Strikeforce Welterweight Champion Nick Diaz will finally get the opportunity to avenge his most recent loss -- to KJ Noons via technical knockout (cuts) way back in 2007 -- when the long-awaited rematch goes down at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California on October 9.
The bout will be contested at 170-lbs instead of 155-lbs and will be for Diaz's world title. The fight will mark his first defense since defeating Marius Žaromskis earlier this year to win the vacant strap.

Thanks for the info.
I’m glad the rematch is happening, but I was kinda hoping for Melendez-Noons and Diaz-Miller. But either way, it’s great Nick has an opportunity to avenge that loss and hopefully he’ll be able to take it to the ground and dominate KJ.

I agree
I’m guessing (as long as Nick doesn’t go to the UFC), Miller will be next, but I’ve been hearing that Dana really wants Nick back now that he’s grown as a fighter and a man and that Nick is pretty receptive to the idea, especially considering Dream hasn’t been paying fighters and there aren’t too many competitive fights out there for him at WW outside the UFC!
but will nick stop smoking or will dana let him go considering the medical prescription?
I like the feeling of hunting down what I feed my family. If there’s a beast out there capable of hunting down Brock Lesnar, he would do it and make me the trophy on his den wall. But the laws of nature dictate that I’m going to be the one who goes into the wild and comes home with the evening’s bounty. - The #1 ranked HW in the world...

I'd love to see Nick back in the UFC.
He’s been one of my favorite fighters ever since his KO of Robbie Lawler and it would be great to see him back with the top fighters. But I do want to see him fight Miller as well, under any banner. As tough as Mayhem is to stop, I think Nick is the man to do it.

The rematch is set almost 3 years from their first meeting which ended (controversially) due to Diaz having cuts on both eyes.
Explain how this was controversial please.
it wasn't
hence the reason I put it in parenthesis. Some fans and many fighters (not me) see a victory due to a cut controversial, so I covered all basis!
does that make sense bro?
as much as I’m a Diaz fan, I pride myself in being unbiased! I for one had no issue with the stoppage, if you don’t want to get cut, stop blocking the punches with ur face!
Yeah I just watched the fight again and it definitely wasn't controversial
maybe put controversially ?
Asterisks make whatever is inside them bold.
Noons does not have power in his hands. Maybe his knees but his hands do not have KO power. they’re good enough to cut up and swell up gurgel’s face, but he won’t be ko’ing gurgel tonight.-STAK

and the 1s are staying cuz thats how he rolls
DrewMoney$$$ is the man, I should have never challenged him to a sig bet. You know he started the Pick 'Em pool late and was forced to replace someone who quit and was far behind in last place his score doesn’t truly reflect how good his picks have been. He still has time to come back and is the obvious favorite for the next pool. By the way im picking the Detroit Lions to win the Superbowl the next 3 seasons in a row, and I would also pick Kimbo Slice to beat Fedor and Brock Lesnar any time. I love Kimbo Slice, he is MMA to me. Anyway DrewMoney$$$ is the man, don’t ever challenge him to a sig bet…
I should never have doubted the wisdom of David W-S or the talent of Junior Dos Santos…and screw Dana White
LATE TAKEDOWN FTW
This is a great fight
KJ has awesome hands and Diaz fancies himself a boxer….
I’ve never had any problem with KJ even if his Dad is a cock. I almost want KJ to win because I enjoy his fights more.

Great....Now we're just gonna have more Miller trash talk
I never really minded Miller. But now that he’s saying Diaz is avoiding him, he’ll just annoy me
Went to my first jits class. Don't think I was ever so happy with getting my ass handed to me
Any fight with KJ is awesome
This is gonna be fun to watch, I’ll be rooting for KJ as usual but its gonna be tough diaz is solid.
Who has evolved the most since their last fight?

Def Diaz!!!
Anderson Silva is by far the number one P4P king!!! Even when he is losing a fight he still comes back and finishes for the win! GSP dominates the whole fight and still can't finish! LOL
diaz has had 30 mma fights, kj has had only 12...so diaz has the experience factor and has had tougher opponents
and when kj fought diaz the first time it was only his 8th mma fight ever…and it was diaz’s 23rd pro mma fight…so for kj to come in as basically a rookie against a veteran of 23 fights and do that good is impressive….
and still kj has had only 12 fights and diaz has had 30…diaz is pretty much the same fighter…hes still a black belt with sick sub skills and a master on the ground…but has improved boxing skills…
and kj is still the same boxer/kickboxer hes always been…but he has great td defense…..he stuffed 5 of nick’s tds in their first fight…..he stuffed i think 8 tds against the guy he fought before gurgel…and he stuffed the only td that jorge tried….
so if kj still has incredible td defense and can keep the fight standing…then nick is gonna have a hard time trying to wear kj down with those pitter patter punches in bunches that he lands on everyone else…..hes gonna end up with both eyes cut again just like he did their first fight….

Yeah! Yeah, yeah. yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my most aticipated event of the year! I’ve been waiting to see Nick get his ass kicked again for sooooooo long. Oh man I’m gonna love it.
Wonder what that pussy Diaz will complain abouth THIS time?
I’m thrilled about this matchup. Finally Noons gets the windbag back in the ring for a 2nd asswhipping. Here, Nick, let me help you with your excuses for after the fight. “Aw I wuz doin’ okay but the mothafucka thumbed me in the eye otherwise I’d have busted him up.” Or how about “I wuz about to REALLY fuck Noons up but I slipped. You saw me slip, right?” Or try this on for size. “The ref couldn’t see it but everytime we grappled Noons squeezed my balls and made kissing noises in my ear. It confused me for a minute. I thought we wuz out on a date and he took advantage of my romantic nature. He USED me!”
Okay, as we all know Diaz won’t be able to say any of those things because he’ll be unconscious and blowing blood bubbles out of his mouth. The poor bastard is going down. Now THAT’S good MMA.

haha, nice writeup
I am hoping for a great fight, not a complete Noons destruction like last time.
I like both guys and will be impartial when it comes to who I want to win. All I want is Diaz to show us his boxing has improved a lot, not go for a single take-down and them duke it out for a while.
Bullets dodge Fedor.
KJ by knockout in the 2nd...
…unless Nick takes a page from Anderson Silva’s playbook and runs away for 5 rounds.

Wishful thinking OJR
Diaz is going in scared on two accounts. He wants to keep his belt and the guy in front of him has already beaten him. If KJ is smart he’ll smile at Diaz when they are first brought to the center of the ring. Diaz will get angry at that and charge in like the numbskull we all know him to be and KJ will pick him apart like a group of fat broads descending on a donut shop after a Weight Watchers meeting.

Diaz might be more worried if Noons was a wrestler. I like this fight. I see it as being competitive and not a cake walk for either fighter. And I don't think professional fighters are scared of each other per se.

Diaz will be fighting @ 170
Which he’s way more comfortable at than 155/160 too so I expect to see him with more strength, cardio and resiliency.
Noons has great striking but he doesn’t have much else. Diaz has striking, subs and experience tho his big weaknesses are TDD and taking too many shots…
I love Diaz tho and I’m going with him

This will be a (T)KO for the better boxer, Noons.

I’m struggling to see Nick make the same mistakes twice and Noons game is no secret.
I think the guy with the better timing gets this. Close but sticking with my homie from Stockton

I mean no disrespect but...
…THAT is the most asinine argument EVER. Fighters who have “never been knocked out before” get knocked out all the time. It’s called the “there’s always a first time for everything” rule. I stand by my prediction. Noons by knockout in the 2nd and remember I said it.

I've been around the game since the late 70s (yeah, I'm old)...
…and it’s seldom you see that spark in a fighter where you KNOW he’s going to carry his ass to a title. I’m not talking about the usual fan wishful thinking. I mean seeing in a fighter the ability to destroy others nearly at will. Noons is one such fighter. Compared to Diaz he had no experience before their first fight and Diaz had been in against the best. That said why couldn’t he handle Noons? Nick Diaz is an accomplished fighter, despite the disparaging remarks I make in jest about him. The sad truth here is that Noons is a better caliber fighter and will destroy Diaz when they meet again. It is going to be fun to watch but said for those who think that running your mouth makes you tough. I stand by my prediction. Noons by knock(ed the fuck)out in the 2nd.

Noons is top shelf, I agree.
Most fans(and I use the term loosely) think a fighter is only as good as his opponents. I’m a fan of Diaz but I like Noons and I hope he wins. His fights are extremely exciting and his boxing and take down defense are second to none in this game.
People have to stop looking at records and judge a fighters attributes.

I worked out with a guy named Riley Hawkins...
…many long years ago. Had the pleasure of hanging out with him and Bruce Lee at the Jhoon Ree (damn I hope I spelled that right after all these years) of Martial Arts in Washington, DC. Riley’s top student Marshal McCade was there to do a weapons demo. Anyway, after the event Marshal and Bruce got into an impromptu sparing session and what I saw amazed me. Lee was fast, had all the skills in the world, yet Marshal negated EVERYTHING Lee tried. How? He was a natural. KJ is just such a fighter. He doesn’t think about what he does; he just does it.

If Diaz beats Noons I’ll say in my sig that my name is Mary and I wear pretty pink bows on my overgrown vagina. If Noons downs Diaz your sig has to say “I eat shit and swallow farts but other than that I’m okay.”

…who has drank the Diaz koolaid. He thinks the sun shines out of Nick’s ass and that he can do no wrong. So, when I saw the post I called him not a half hour ago and put up instead of shutting up. The bet? An undisclosed monetary renumeration for the winner of the bet, plus the loser has to walk into our favorite sports bar (a bastion for OU football fans) , get up on the bar and say “OU blows!” then get out alive.

I’ll just re-post what I also wrote that night
Absolutely positive? No, but
I have to go with history and play the odds. Gurgel has never been KO’d and Noons has never KO’d anyone with his hands. Could it happen? Of course it could since those are some damn small gloves they wear and anything is possible in mma, but I don’t think it will.
I'll stick with YOUR quote that I copy/pasted.
It’s so much more telling as to how that conversation went down. There were a couple of you numbskulls I was trying to help along, you were the one with the best quote of them.
Noons does not have power in his hands. Maybe his knees but his hands do not have KO power. they’re good enough to cut up and swell up gurgel’s face, but he won’t be ko’ing gurgel tonight.-STAK
how the conversation went down? you act like it was such long conversation.
my first comment;
Noons does not have power in his hands. Maybe his knees but his hands do not have KO power. they’re good enough to cut up and swell up gurgel’s face, but he won’t be ko’ing gurgel tonight.
your reply;
No KO power?
He’s gonna be out-hitting Gurgel 50-1 in this fight and you’re absolutely postive he can’t get a KO?
then my reply;
Absolutely positive? No, but
I have to go with history and play the odds. Gurgel has never been KO’d and Noons has never KO’d anyone with his hands. Could it happen? Of course it could since those are some damn small gloves they wear and anything is possible in mma, but I don’t think it will.
that’s it! that’s the whole conversation. so how can the comment that you have decided to quote be more telling as to how the conversation went down? if anything it’s a horrible misrepresentation of how the conversation actually went down.
Cuz Canadians are tricky and not to be trusted.

TRUTH
You said Noons doesn’t have KO power in his hands and that he couldn’t KO Gurgel, you were as wrong as could be.
You’re a good dude, stak. This isn’t meant to harm or annoy you. If you want I can change it. This sig was meant for all the guys that were saying Gurgel wouldn’t be KO’d. Like I said, you just had the most “quote-worthy” post. It’ll teach you for disagreeing with the Motherfucking MAN.

-180 Diaz / +150 Noons to start?
I just can’t see the oddmakers not giving the champ credit.
Bullets dodge Fedor.
Even after he lost to Noons already?
I agree with you that Diaz will be the favorite and most people will be betting for him, but it doesn’t make much sense to me.
Noons does not have power in his hands. Maybe his knees but his hands do not have KO power. they’re good enough to cut up and swell up gurgel’s face, but he won’t be ko’ing gurgel tonight.-STAK
Diaz has been much more active since their first fight.
Also add to that the public perception of him as the champion and more fans/exposure due his history in the UFC and that’s how they might come to those odds.
I guess that’s good for us if we wanted to bet on KJ. Not so good if betting on the champ.
Who knows though…. Maybe I am completely off and Diaz will be a 2:1 dog.
Bullets dodge Fedor.
I think you're right with your first guess
Nobody is going to give KJ a shot at this.
Noons does not have power in his hands. Maybe his knees but his hands do not have KO power. they’re good enough to cut up and swell up gurgel’s face, but he won’t be ko’ing gurgel tonight.-STAK
At over +150 I'd put a medium-sized bet on KJ. I think the real line should be close to even
Bullets dodge Fedor.
yes and no
the weight factor will have an impact (even though it just means KJ doesn’t have to cut and the fact that KJ hasn’t been very active while Diaz has been. I think +150 is about right
All that is true.
Having seen what happened in the first fight though, I believe that negates those factors.

Agreed.
And I think that is one of the things that makes this sport so great. People make fantastic personal strides and improve very quickly. I believe in Mixed Martial Arts there are many more “milestones” for a fighter to get to the next level.
Young guys can completely change their game within mere months, especially by training in different camps and taking advantage of the helping nature of most professionals. Everyone trains with everyone.

I was one of the people that doubted Shogun(he’s a great example of why people change their opinions on fighters). He looked horrible against Forrest and Coleman, he gassed early in both fights, he was slower….
He made a great comeback from those fights and obviously people are giving him credit again because unlike most fighters he’s been able to go through surgeries and come back. It wasn’t expected.

That first fight was a tough one for him, Noons cut him up pretty good. Diaz couldn’t get him down and that hurt, but i think he’ll keep the range this time and just punches in bunches. I’m not sure K.J. and hurt him, he hit him with some big shots the first time, but never had him in bad trouble, so i’m going diaz by 4th round K.O.

What Has Diaz Done Since ?
who has nick beat since fight that is so impressive guys?
Katsuya Inoue? Yoshiyuki Yoshida beat this guy with 1 Punch for god sakes lol
Muhsin Corbbrey? 8-5 record lol
Thomas Denny? 27-18 record lol
Frank Shamrock? is now retired and is washed up and fought nick with a year long layoff
Scott Smith? yeah he has excellent hands and great head movement right lolol he is more of a punching bag than gurgel
Marius Žaromskis? a 5’9 WW who was over hyped and now been finished 2 times in the first round in the states
Hayato Sakurai? washed up a well and is 4-3 in his last 7 was getting beat in the stand up here and had to go to the ground and this was his last fight
You could do this for almost every fighter in the game today.
It’s a waste of time and space. You shouldn’t be judging Diaz on what his opponents do. Judge him on his talents and abilities.
Noons does not have power in his hands. Maybe his knees but his hands do not have KO power. they’re good enough to cut up and swell up gurgel’s face, but he won’t be ko’ing gurgel tonight.-STAK
I've been in the gym for 50 years....
….yes, that’s right. Started boxing at age ten, wrestled in high school, kenpo karate from 19 till 40. I’ve worked in personal security, been lumped as time or two and have lumped others. Through all that I’ve had the privilege from time to time to see someone come along that had the natural ability to do from the start what I had to sweat blood to learn. There are naturals in all sports. Brooks Robinson, Johnny Unitas, Michael Jordan, and in my opinion KJ Noons.
Noons has that indefinable “thing” that sets him apart from other fighters. Can he stand to learn? Bet your ass he can. Yet the skills he has at present are sufficient to the job of dismantling Diaz in their second go around. Noons is an Anderson Silva in the rough.
I said it, have already bet on it, and will say it again. Noons by KO in the 2nd.

There are many talented fighters jay, the question is were is Diaz amongst the best and the only way to really find out is based on competition and fact remains that by competition Diaz has really proved nothing besides he looks good against B level fighters. Would he look the same against and A level fighter?

i think diaz has packed onto his frame too much for noons. the power he had over JG won’t translate as well against Nick…and Nick will definitely be punching away.

What the fuck has NOONS done??????
nothing, besides get kod by crazy horse.. lol..
no but for real, that fight against whats his face that he was lucky to win the decision, and even before that his dream fight against other whats his face was a hurtin dec… and then he kos gurgel.. big whoop.. diaz by rape.
well you obviously have out-researched everyone on here
We should just close this thread down. Your brilliant summary takes the cake.

daverr...the greatest fighters in mma all have one thing in common...that one awful embarrasing loss
i mean look at anderson…loss by a flying heel hook…thats the most embarrasing sub of all time….yet hes the best fighter in the world…
gsp got tapped due to strikes from matt serra…serra’s biggest claim to fame was being the guy who got ko’d by a spinning backfist from shonie carter…but he goes and taps out gsp to strikes…
fedor gets tapped out in 96 seconds to a ufc reject werdum….
notice a trend here? the greatest fighters in the world ALL have that one highlight reel humiliating defeat on their record…
so kj having a bad ko loss on his record puts him in good company with the greatest in the world
the brockness monster grinds up teenagers and puts them in his protein shakes..and uses razor blades to chop toddlers up into lines to snort like meth...the reason no one can find bigfoot is because the brockness monster found him years ago and now has him in numerous ziplock bags in the back of his freezer...

If he beats the bigger Diaz I will be impressed, hell if he makes it a fight I will be impressed
I only seen him fight twice so my opinion is more on looking at opponents he has faced in the passed and I they are not impressive. I’m not saying he isn’t talented, what I’m saying is his competition doesn’t prove he’s one of the best. Having talent is one thing but it’s the fighters you beat and way you beat them that proves how talented you really are.

oh thats fine
but it still wouldn’t make me think he’s one of the best LW’s in the world. He isn’t even the best LW in strikeforce, which is the minor leagues. I wouldn’t give him a chance against Gray Maynard, and I think he’s overrated!
Maybe best LW is going to far. He has the best boxing at LW though
And the guys that would give him fits are good wrestlers(they are trouble for everyone though). Diaz isn’t a wrestler so I think KJ has a huge edge here.
Noons does not have power in his hands. Maybe his knees but his hands do not have KO power. they’re good enough to cut up and swell up gurgel’s face, but he won’t be ko’ing gurgel tonight.-STAK
Why stand and trade Diaz has an excellent ground game and will have a weight advanatage
With Shields and Melendez as partners Diaz grappling should destroy Noons. Why not Noons against Melendez anyway?
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
he doesn't deserve a title shot
is the only reason I could come up with…he hasn’t lost a few in a row, isn’t that the way to get a shot in strikeforce?
So he gets a shot at the WW belt instead?

He had a great grappling match in the past against Diego
Lately he was on the ground most of the match against Sakurai and Nick was the one that took it there, Sakurai may be sub par against the jits but I don’t think Noons is that great either from what I know anyway?
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
I agree, Diaz has great jits, when it hits the ground.
He won’t be able to get it there. Noons has good TDD and good jits Defense. He won’t get taken down by Diaz.

I'll take your word for it jay
I only seen a couple fights of Noons, I’ll be interested to see this one.
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
could be Jay
But Noons had a failed attempt at boxing, and who has he beaten to make anyone think his boxing is so great? I’ve never seen him in a fight that got taken to the ground and saw him get out struck and KO’d by crazy horse. I’ll be impressed if he beats Nick again, but still won’t be sold on his skill set, unless it goes to the ground and he survives
Diaz doesn't have the TD's to get the fight there. Noons is quick on his feet and has surprisingly good TDD
I don’t think Noons failed at boxing yet. He has a winning record and isn’t finished with the sport yet, I think he was probably sick of being a little fish in a giant toilet.
He has great combos and quick hands. I don’t care who he’s fought.

WOOT!
This is a killer matchup. Noons wooed me with his standup last Saturday, and Diaz is well, Diaz.. Can’t wait to watch this go down.
I can tell you why Diaz will lose
Once I do you’ll realize why I’ve said all along that Diaz will go down. Everybody refers to Diaz throwing all those pitty pat punches but no one ever says why. If you think about it you know because you’ve seen it before and probably from your early youth.
Remember the fights in the schoolyard? There was the guy who would walk in on anything thrown to get a punch in and then there was the semi-coward; the one that threw punch after ineffectual punch to keep the other guy at arms length. Why? Because he was afraid of being hit.
Now, watch every Nick Diaz fight. He keeps his head back as far as he can because he REALLY doesn’t like being hit. He walks in behind a punch of useless punches, head held back, hoping to get in a good punch without taking one. He pitty pats because he isn’t willing to take an asswhipping in order to give one. In a word he fights scared.
Now, watch Noons. He stalks, comes in head down and ready because he knows the old axiom “You have to bring ass to take ass.” THAT is the reason Noons beat Diaz the first time and will again.

I don't know
my wife’s cousin spars with Nick (but admittedly isn’t one of his boys), and he says Nick hits hard. He has no reason to lie and is one of those machismo mexicans that actually has a hard time admitting that sort of thing. Ive seen Diaz take a beating and keep coming forward, so I have to disagree!
I have to agree with the old guy.
He’s making a TON of sense right now. Nick does fight like that.
Noons does not have power in his hands. Maybe his knees but his hands do not have KO power. they’re good enough to cut up and swell up gurgel’s face, but he won’t be ko’ing gurgel tonight.-STAK
The old guy, while not wrinkled...
…has a scar or two. I’ve banged it out a bit in my life and always LOVED the Diaz types. You can tell when a guy is afraid to get hit and the way to beat him is simple; hit him ONCE really hard. At that point his game plan goes out the window and psychologically from that point on he is on the defense. From there on you just pick him apart and bide your time.
I did personal security work for 15 years (my day rate was $350) and never carried a gun; just a roll of quarters wrapped in electricians tape. I still have ‘em in fact so if anyone is doing laundry I’ve got quarters. Now in all those years I learned how to spot the truly dangerous possibilities and the pussies that talked tough to mask their insecurities. I needn’t go further in describing which group I think Diaz falls into.

lol. I love anyone who has a disdain for Diaz that is comparable to mine.
Diaz is just a straight up punk and I can’t wait until Noons smacks him in his stupid looking face.
That being said, Diaz may try to force this to the ground, and tho he has a very stupid wigger thug looking face, he’s more then competent on the ground.
i’m going to take wigger thug bitch punk jackass for the sub round 2.
wigger?
dont you have to be white?
as I’ve said before, for those who have never been, go to stockton for 5 min and you’ll get it!
Diaz isn't white?
Serious question tho.. he’s not white?
i have no desire to “get it” from Diaz and his homeboys.. I can save myself the time and let my lil sister hit me 500times then shove a dildo up my ass. Experiment completed.
Doesn’t change the fact that this guy is overrated for merely being outside the ufc. he has a solid skillset but he’s not elite.. and he is a bona-fide punk.. he just has one of those faces that you look at and you wanna punch him right in that smug fuckin face.
yes I know he would rape me if i said this to his face, but thankfully for me I can hide behind my keyboard and computer screen some 2500kilometers away, doesn’t change the fact people of his kind are bad for MMA and that he is a bitch-ass punk.
secondly, and to conclude.. How does me not saying this to his face make him any less of a thug punk wannabe?
He doesn't mean get "it" like getting beat up
He means you will understand why he is the way he is. Stockton is evidently full of guys that talk and act like him.
His last name is Diaz, I think he might be something other than white?

I come from a place where I dont see many people besides pale-assed drunken irishman lol.
So my views on other cultures are a bit skewed.
The only thing I noticed about Noons is he ducks his head instead of deflecting punches or avoiding them
He looked like he was wide open for a knee to the mouth. Maybe Diaz will take advantage of that?

Pay close attention to that ducking
It’s from that old gym standard exercise of bobbing down under a string fixed shoulder height and coming up on the other side and so on and so on. He (Noons) isn’t going straight down and up but is working angles that set up hooks or uppercuts. In essense he’s simply applying basic boxing science. No mystery there.

I agree. It's old school boxing. But watch the end of the first round of Noons/Gurgel...
Gurgel was throwing hooks and KJ kept his head down and stationary. It looked to me that a knee or front kick to the teeth would have been effective. Boxers get away with bending forward and putting all of their weight on the front of their feet because no one can knee them or pull them forward for a drag take down.

By way of counterpoint...
…I offer you the one half-assed takedown Diaz managed on Noons in fight one. Noons is quick and reads “the field” pretty well. I honestly believe that he does his bobs safely and effectively enough that it would be hard to get a knee in. As he gets older that may not be the case. Oh, and I’m new here and decided to add a sig of my own. In accurately reflects my helpful nature.

I like Noons and his skills are not being lost on me. I have always liked Diaz and would root for him against anyone he fights(except GSP), I’m gonna go with Noons on this one though. There’s something about him, maybe it’s what you were alluding to…He just has “it”.

Edgar, GSP, Cain Velasquez, Randy Couture...
…BJ Penn, Old Fat Assed Roy, wish the Iceman was still fighting (but am glad he isn’t)…the list is endless. The only reason I seemed focused on Noons is this thread regards him and Diaz. Wanderlei Silva is ALWAYS fun to watch. He’s like Noons will be if Noons stays around after brain damage. All in all I guess you can say I love the whole sport. One final thing. The only way Couture loses this weekend is if he makes the mistake of trying to stand with Toney. Otherwise I see this ending by rear-naked choke or one motherfucker of an armbar.

So your telling me that a SF LW that is not even the best LW in SF can take on the SF WW champion?
Noon opponents since Diaz
1) Yves Edwards – Good fighter in the early 2000’s but way past his prime now
2)Andre Amade – Don’t know anything about this guy so I looked him up and he was on a 3 fight losing streak before he fought Noons
3) Conor Huen – Don’t much about this guy either, him and Noons had a close one that ended in a split, he must be good LOL?
4) Jorge has been around but he was never top tier calibure of fighter, more of a Dan Lauzon calibure.
So he goes from fighting Diaz in Elite to much weaker opponents? In my opinion Diaz has fought much tougher opponetns and remeber that was at LW a weight Diaz did not like fighting at.

I'll believe it when I see it, I admit I'm not a huge LW fan and don't pay as much attention
But I don’t understand how he’s not fighting for the LW belt instead the WW belt. I followed Diaz and I don’t think his competition has been that great either but besides Diaz there isn’t a fighter he has beat that proves he deserves a shot? I think Diaz is a good fighter I didn’t see his last fight with Noons so when I get home I’ll watch more Noons fights including the one with Diaz to give a better opinion.

You've already seen that he matches up well with Diaz, they fought.
This is SF so I won’t complain that Noons doesn’t deserve a shot(he doesn’t deserve a title shot) but this is the best fight for Diaz in SF. They are so shallow in their talent pool it isn’t funny.

That's his job kevjack
He’s in there to fight. That said it doesn’t change the fact that he’s scared to get hit. His unconscious physiological reaction to a physical confrontation can be easily seen in his posture. As far back as he keeps his head it almost looks like he’s about to lay down. As for you disagreeing with me, and capping that sentiment with an exclamation point, doesn’t change the fact that he fights offensively from a defensive posture. THAT is why he’s going to lose to Noons. Noons commits. It’s like he’s saying “Come and make me bleed but count your arms and legs as you back up because I’m tearing something off you.” Fighters like that scare the shit out of the Nick Diaz’ of the world.
But all this, for now, is just conjecture. I’ll add your name to the list of those to send a condolense card after this fight reaches its inevitable abbreviated end. Noons by a clean KO in round two.

KJ is not going to sit in Diaz's guard for a second...
So Nick has no real way to win this fight. His takedowns are easily stuffed by KJ and his standup is entry level to KJ’s. There’s nothing to indicate that Nick has any real chance of winning this fight. He got dominated in the first landing only a few of his patented “pussy fwaps”.
Great news!!
This is the fight i wanted to see. This is the fight i predicted would bring in an even larger audience if promoted properly; they now need to promote this fight the way it deserves to be promoted.
The Diaz vs Miller fight did not excite me; down the line sure, but right now just because they had a little scuffle?!? That’s supposed to bring in a large audience, really? If Strikeforce went with that it would have really shown how bad of a position they were in.
KJ Noons has a lot of steam behind him right now after his brutal KO over Gurgel in a really exciting fight. In the first fight, KJ didn’t just win a cut stoppage, he was tagging Nick over and over and even dropped him with a huge punch!
KJ vs Diaz 2 is a great fight with the potential of bringing in a big audience if promoted properly. The footage from the first fight and footage from their past few fights would be more than enough to get people pumped. So glad they didn’t go with Miller.
News of the day!
