KJ Noons responds to EliteXC about the Diaz fight..

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

KJ Noons has sent this to a number of MMA media outlets and it appears to be
legit. Nothing really too exciting–We have no issue with Noons
fighting Eddie Alverez but he’s realistically not going to be able to
fight until later this year. He had a nasty eye injury at the DREAM
LW GP semi finals …

He makes an effort to be diplomatic here and there, but EliteXC VP Jared Shaw is none too happy with “Nature Boy” KJ Noons–and with good reason. Fight Hype has an interview with Shaw, here’s a tasty excerpt:

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Great interview @ FightTicker with Rosi Sexton, who is an actual Ph.D. and definitely one of the sharpest tools in the MMA shed:

MMA Frenzy is reporting that the California State Athletic Commission will announce that one fighter each at the Stockton EliteXC card and the Affliction: Banned event tested positive for a banned subject.

Noons ducking Diaz, EliteXC not happy

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

Add EliteXC to the list of those who are tired of “Nature Boy” KJ Noons antics. Not that anyone blames him for not wanting to fight Nick Diaz under the best of circumstances, and certainly after all of the trash talking he’s done:
EliteXC has big plans for its Oct. 4 appearance on CBS. With …

Kelly Kobold not lacking for confidence..

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

Good interview with Kelly Kobald at FightHype–she’s most definitely not just a “setup” type opponent for Gina Carano to look good:

I’m looking for a 1st or 2nd round TKO or stoppage. Gina may be the face of MMA, but I have to say, win, lose or draw I’m going to be the pretty one leaving …

KJ Noons: Boxing is next…

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Unbelievable. “Nature Boy” KJ Noons is channeling early 1980’s Ric Flair trying to become the “arrogant heel” of MMA. In a conversation at FightHype he basically says that he’s run roughshod over the MMA world to such a degree that he’s thinking about turning his attention to boxing fulltime. Sure, he realizes …
