"I'm super excited about the opportunity, and I think it's a great thing for me. To be in the Strikeforce main event on Showtime, to be in line to be a two-time, two-division world champion, and getting to beat Nick again in the process... I couldn't ask for a better fight. I already got one up on Nick. I beat the crap out of the guy. He's had a good run, and there's a lot of build-up for this rematch. We've both improved, this is a different weight class now, he's gotten better, I've gotten better, it's a different situation. But at the end of the day, I'm a true mixed martial artist, I have respect for the sport, and I am a good role model... Nick's good for entertainment, but I come from a family of fighters. I started early, and I have respect for martial arts. It teaches you discipline, how to become a good person, and I feel that I am. On October 9, I'm fighting a guy that, if I had a kid, I wouldn't want him looking up to. He's a trash-talking, pot-smoking chump. It's motivation for sure [to be fighting near Diaz's hometown]. I love being the underdog. Even when I'm not, I still try to picture myself as the underdog so I train harder and push myself. Nick says he's bringing his guys, but so am I. They're going to need to beef up security. This is beyond a grudge match. I'm going to light him up like a Christmas tree. He's going to have to kill me to [to beat me]. It's very personal."
K.J. Noons talking about Strikeforce welterweight champ Nick Diaz whom he'll face on October 9 via Strikeforce (HT MMA Mania).

Yep.
Nick has no problem making Noons come up to his weight, but ask him to move up and face Mayhem? Noooooooooooo.

I bet Mayhem could make 182, and we know Nick is OK fighting there.

That's the point
he’s afraid to fight Miller, 2 of his last four fights were at 180 but now that Miller wants to fight him he’s suddenly saying that he’s a welterweight and that Miller should go down. So instead of fighting somebody at a weight he’s used to he’s going to fight someone that fights at 155. This is why Mayhem wearing a shirt that says “Don’t be scared homie” is fucking hilarious.

Whole new view
First off I like nick, buy with all that mouth he puts out there and how all of a sudden he’s just a ww and won’t move up to fight Miller I’ve suddenly become a Miller fan and hope when he gets his turn he pounds Diaz out. I also love the shirt lol.

How dare he avenge a loss instead of following through on out of the cage horseshit that you were quick to berate.

You’re bad for the sport :p
LoL. I think the Mayhem fight is unavoidable. It’ll happen. I think you are absolutely right, He should take the noons fight. he’s wanted it for some time now, and it will let us know just how much Nick Diaz has improved. I think he takes this fight, in a surprising show of dominance.
Sorry boutcha Noons

This is a topic that
is hard to deal with, especially considering in the U.S. particularly, you can’t have this conversation without jumping head long into politics. Therefore, I’m not going to do it.
I know you potheads know what a brick of schwag looks like. Big volume products look like big volume products because the guy that’s supposed to break it up is lazy (perpetual stoner). It is part of the border violence. But just part.
Just buy local hydro or grow your own.

True enough.
Except I understand that your newer immigrants are becoming more and more crazy with the crime. Toronto, Qubec, for example.
Wow, it just realized now that Nick was a 2 division champ...
granted that other belt was a “catchweight” belt and on a crappy promotion, but still… Pretty good achievement.
Huh?
Diaz never won the championship in Elitexc.
oh shit you're right.
doy… brain fart. So that’s why I never thought of him as a 2 division champ. I even misread Noon’s statement. I feel dumb… haha.

As much as I dislike Noons, I think the Diaz hype train gets derailed. Nick will try to stand with Noons and will get lit up. Noons by decision.
The more you drive, the less intelligent you are.
Love Diaz but his boxing is just not that good. Don’t tell me Noons hasn’t gotten better either..so at the least it’s no different than their first fight.
The more you drive, the less intelligent you are.
Why is Noons jumping up to Welterweight instead of trying to fight el Nino? Also Diaz is a lot better now then he was then if you ask me.
ugg that whole “he’s gonna half to kill me to beat me” is getting old.
El Nino is hurt
KJ wants a big fight and doesn’t want to wait for Gibert to get healthy.
Diaz may have gotten better
but I don’t think his jab the shit out of other guy plan won’t work too well with Noons.
Noons is sick...
His boxing has improved and he WILL light Diaz up like a Christmas tree.

Noons is in for a reality check
Noons never beat the crap out of diaz he just cut him up with his patented punches where the inside part of his glove lands…and who ducked who for over a year…Diaz wanted the rematch and noons thought he was worth all kinds of money. Diaz will light him up real bad this time and put an end to the pretty boy’s run if you want to call it that. I think Diaz can hang with any welterweight and most middles

Dude
he was lighting Diaz up, I mean he dropped him in the round so what more do you want?
Josh Barnett is a thrice proven juicer with a pro wrestling mindset and a personality that would lead you to believe he's never had a romantic encounter that didn’t start with "you gotta pay me upfront."
Yep
He had Nick buttscooting like crazy for the last two or three minutes because Nick wanted no part of him standing and couldn’t get him down with his terrible wrestling.

Haha, no Fake Emcee's picture of Wu-Tang-Clan 36 Chambers, but theres nothing wrong with a flat top either.
"Everyone has a game plan, untell they get hit." -Mike Tyson
I just watched the fight again. Noons landed that strafing knee that cut him and then caught him with one good punch to knock him off balance… By no means did he get the shit kicked out of him, and I saw no lighting up going on. Not even close to a 10-8 round, but I admit I was wrong about the cuts. Diaz did score a takedown and diaz’s boxing is better now than then and diaz was landing his shots. Had he not got cut that would’ve been a barnburner. I’m pumped for this fight
Did you see Noons get up immediately after that takedown like it was no big thang?
Did you see Nick butt scooting around and having to be told by the ref to stand up because he wanted no part of KJ on the feet?
Nick was scooting cuz noons wasn’t letting him up. Are you noons’ dad???
Had that fight been allowed to continue noons would have met the wrath just like when crazy horse knocked him the f*** out
Are you fucking crazy
just watch the fight, he was telling Diaz to get up. Diaz was losing that fight, it may not have been a 10-8 round but there was no way Diaz was going to get that round.

Excellent post
I don’t smoke pot, never liked it myself. I’d rather have a beer in my hand. I work with A LOT of heavy pot smokers and they are not always the smartest bunch. Everything has to be done in moderation.
If pot were legalized, most people I know would try to smoke it at work. Doing what I do for a living, that is absolutely unacceptable. If someone is not on their game…people can die.
It is irritating to listen to everyone wear the fact they smoke pot like a badge on their shirt. I smoke pot yo, blah blah blah. Good for you, doesn’t make you a bad ass for doing it. Just do it in moderation and enjoy it.
Thats akin
to saying pot is a gateway drug, people will try it because of the novelty. After that those that didn’t will more then likely not continue. As for people doing it at work, I have a question, do they drink at work? The consequences would be the same, someone will either get injured, or fired.
Actually quite a few people do partake in it at break times, which I am completely against.
They are under the impression that it is not as bad as being under the influence of alcohol…which is completely untrue. Keep all your extra curricular activities just that, apart from work. If you get high rolling and smoking cat shit, I couldn’t care less. Keep it away from me though.
I’m sure most people who do smoke would not think about doing it at work, I’m just commenting on the people I know and what they have said in past conversations.
I don’t believe that pot is a gateway drug at all, I do believe most people are more than capable of distinguishing the severity of consequences of trying other “harder” drugs. Pot smokers in general just want to chill out and relax, not get all hyped up on meth and party for 3 days straight.
in my first sentance…I meant people I know do it at work on break times….not generalizing pot smokers in general.
Some of us don’t have jobs that were affected by it. Really, the fuck do you care if the guy answering the phone when you call customer service for your phone is stoned, as long as he gets the job done? He could he in his underwear (they often are, working at home). Big deal.

Going by the last few years
And Barring freakish events, this will be Nicks fight to lose. His hands, movement, speed and strength have improved far ahead what is was in Noons/Diaz I. Noons on the other hand looks rather ordinary and unimproved based on the fight with Gurgel.
Says the guy who trains at Cesar Gracies, if I recall correctly.
Noons has improved a lot. His punching in MMA is way beyond where it used to be, and he has been sitting down on his punches and turning over his hips way more.
That said, Diaz bu sub in the third.

Yes and let me tell you, the last 3 years make all the difference
In every department. Even defense!
I dunno if noons can say much about being a better role model… Lol, an oxygen tank using, illegal knee throwing, punching after the bell kind of role model I guess.
by kanodogg on Sep 3, 2010 1:17 AM EDT via mobile reply actions
If that shitshow of a commission in Texas let’s him use the oxygen then why not? And that punch he landed was no later than the punched that Machida used to knock Thiago Silva out. The knee seemed iffy but then again if the ref was doing his job, it wouldn’t have happened would it?
The after the bell thing was an honest mistake.
The oxygen tank was apparently approved by the commission and the illegal knee would not have happened had the ref stopped the fight when he was supposed to. I put that knee in the same category as Jon Jones’ 12-to-6 elbows on Matt Hamill.
That knee didn't even hit. Just saying.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

Well, I'm a sucker, because I am now even more excited about this fight
See … this hype stuff works!
Being overrated is overrated.
Nick will get beat by a lot of wrestlers at welterweight. Seeing him get outstriked (again) should be fun.

Had Noons fought Diaz in DREAM, Diaz woulda been all goody two-shoes.
It was weird seeing him in the press conferences and pictures for DREAM.14. He was all smiles and shit.
Oh those Diaz bros
Podunk gangstas with hilarious speech impedements who can beat some serious ass.
That said, Noons will probably win by cut or decision.
Nick Diaz has hilariously bad defensive boxing.
So if he trades, he either needs to light Noons up quick or he’s going down.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

2/3 in your assessment of Diaz isn’t bad, Noons. Unfortunately 2/3 will also be your best case scenario following the rematch.

Can’t get enough of this stuff. I don’t care if its about weed or his “chumpness”, but Noons talking smack is going to make this even that more interesting to watch. I’ve got KJ by decision, but if Diaz gets him on the ground watch out.
