Strikeforce: San Jose "Nick Diaz vs KJ Noons II"
- Thread starter Johnny Truelove
- Start date
look @ miller's recent record in depth. just cause he can run his mouth & has a show on mtv doesnt mean he's anybody to be feared. the noons fight makes more sense for diaz. for one, his last loss was to noons (due to cuts). noons is coming off a big win with controversial moments (1st round after the bell knock down, illegal knee after the finish..)
plus this would be a 5 round title fight.. more money there too.
he'll get around to fighting miller, but theres no reason to make it a priority, or to think mayhem would dominate their fight.
@ least sonnen had some recent big wins to back-up his shit talking that led to the silva fight..

Showtime To Air Hour-Long Special for Diaz-Noons II
Showtime officials have plucked from their EliteXc video archives the first fight between Nick Diaz and K.J. Noons.
The fighters, of course, meet Oct. 9 when Diaz puts his Strikeforce welterweight title on the line against Noons at "Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Noons II."
The first meeting, held in the now-defunct EliteXC promotion, airs as part of an hour-long special on Showtime 2 this Friday at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
The fight took place at "EliteXC: Renegade" in Texas, and the organization's lightweight (160-pound) title was on the line. The ending of the fight resulted in one of the year's more volatile and bizarre moments. Officials tried multiple times to get the rematch together, but a contract dispute with Noons and the organization's eventual collapse kept it from happening. But with the signing of Noons earlier this year, Strikeforce officials secured the title fight.
The Showtime special, which also includes past fights with both fighters, re-airs Sept. 28 (10:10 p.m. ET/PT on Showtime 2) and Oct. 4 (10 p.m. ET/PT on Showtime 2). It'll also be available via Showtime On Demand beginning Sept. 24.
The additional fights for Diaz include those against Thomas Denny, Scott Smith and Marius Zaromskis. Noons' fights include James Edson Berto, Yves Edwards and Jorge Gurgel.
"Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Noons II" takes place at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif., and also airs on Showtime.
