Strikeforce: San Jose "Nick Diaz vs KJ Noons II"
- Thread starter Johnny Truelove
- Start date
The Thompson-JZ fight was pretty sick. Especially that first round. Not sure what the deal with the 30-27 score was for that fight. JZ clearly won that 3rd and Josh clearly won the 2nd.
Gotta love Diaz for that. Probably not the smartest thing in fighting to your opponent's strength, but it just proves how good he is. Pretty good card.

this faeking dude is comedy. "He (started fighting) cuz he got picked on in High School by people like me" - Noons
Yea right bud. Did he really just say that? Does he know about Stockton? I'm sure all the 13's and 14's, TRGs, etc etc that went to high school with Nick think Noons is a whole lot harder then them. Him and his dad are clowns.
Diaz with the uniaminous decision. No suprise. When will people learn? The things about both Nick and Nate is they travel to train with the best. I remember training on 3rd St in the Sco (http://www.thirdstreetgym.com/index.html), and both of them just pop up outta no where to train with our best boxers. Just went in there and did there thing. Make no mistake - the Diaz brothers aint for play. I am sure Nick aint satisfied with the win - i know he wanted a tap or KO. But it is what it is. You know what he is prolly doing right now? Smoking a blunt laughing at this bitch ass motherfucker. Another good night for Stockton. 209999999

Diaz-Miller rivalry continues backstage at Strikeforce event; Coker open to making fight
SAN JOSE, Calif. – While the bad blood between Nick Diaz and K.J. Noons seems to be on the decline, it still boils between Diaz and Jason "Mayhem" Miller.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) learned that Diaz and Miller nearly came to blows backstage following Saturday night's "Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Noons 2" event and had to be separated by Showtime officials.
Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said Diaz needs rest following a unanimous decision victory over K.J. Noons in this past Saturday's event, but he's not opposed to a grudge match between the welterweight champion and "Bully Beatdown" host.
According to a source who witnessed the scene, Diaz and Miller locked eyes while passing each other in the hallway between the dressing rooms and the pressroom as the post-event press conference took place. Words were exchanged, and Diaz allegedly threw a water bottle at Miller. The two were immediately broken up by members of their respective camps and Showtime officials.
A Showtime official later confirmed the incident with MMAjunkie.com but downplayed its significance.
Coker reacted with surprise when told of the near-scuffle following the press conference. While he pointed to a different path for Diaz during the meeting – Diaz could meet either the winner of a Dec. 4 bout between Scott Smith and Paul Daley or perhaps Brazilian brawler Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos – he isn't opposed to having the rivals settle their score inside the Strikeforce cage.
Of course, Diaz and Miller have already met inside the Strikeforce cage – just not in professional competition. The two first tussled in April when Miller confronted Diaz's teammate, then-middleweight champion Jake Shields, after Shields defeated Dan Henderson at the CBS-televised "Strikeforce: Nashville" card. Diaz and Shields pushed Miller back, which led to shoving and then an all-out brawl as TV cameras rolled.
Diaz, Miller, Shields and two others were suspended and fined by the Tennessee Athletic Commission following the incident. The melee also prompted Strikeforce to change in-cage security protocols and limit the number of cornermen allowed inside the fence after a fight.
Diaz and Miller made their bad blood official in subsequent interviews, which prompted many fans to call for a grudge match.
But instead of that grudge match, Diaz agreed to meet K.J. Noons, with whom he shared a rivalry that stemmed from a November 2007 loss to the striking specialist.
But Cesar Gracie, Diaz's manager and trainer, said a fight between his fighter and Miller was a no-go unless the middleweight Miller dropped to welterweight or met Diaz at a catchweight.

Coker said it's too soon to pencil in a booking for Diaz.
"Let these guys heal up," he said. "When they come back, we'll have a conversation. I will say this, though: the fights that we've wanted to put together, we've been able to put together. We'll have that conversation.
"It's one thing not to like each other, but if they really want to fight, then we'll put it together."
If that's the case, Coker said he's job will be easy. He said "Mayhem" has repeatedly requested the fight; Gracie, meanwhile, said Diaz has done no such thing.
"That would be a great fight to promote," Coker said. "It's not hard to promote that fight. But we'll see if they really want to do fight in the cage. It's one thing to have them bump in to each other in the hallway and call each other names. But if they really want to fight in the cage, if anybody can put it together, we can put it together."
Asked whether the possible matchup would be at welterweight, middleweight, or a catchweight, Coker said, "I'll answer that in two weeks."

Pretty decent card. I didn't get to watch the first fight. Just saw the hightlight ko blow. Other than that I called out every fight. It didn't surprise me one bit that jz got screwed in that fight. I was like I bet some idiot judge was gonna give thompson a 30-27 score and sure enough happened. I don't like fights being held in cali for that reason alone. Where could I sign up to be a judge cause I have way more experience than these pseudo judges. I had jz winning the first and third rounds....
