    Diaz has some of the best MMA boxing I have ever seen. Amd he is going up against a lightweight with a much smaller reach. Hopefully I get a decent price on him

    Andre Galvao vs. Tyron Woodley will be good. I say woodley opens around -150

    noons ****** him up pretty good in the first fight, and looking at diaz eyes it looks like he could still have problems getting cut easy.

    Noons is no joke man. He has pro boxing experience and knows how to throw a good punch.I really like noons chances to pull of the upset

    Diaz boxing not on the same level as Noons. If Diaz keeps it standing he will lose. If he's smart he goes for the takedown and wins.

    Noons boxing isn't as good as he thinks he is. Crazy Horse knocked him out. His defense is lacking. A motivated Diaz likely tools him.

    diaz has horrible takedowns is the problem. if the fight gets to the ground diaz has huge advantage... but how often have you seen either diaz able to take someone to the ground?

    curious to see odds on Noons...

    You may be right. I was shocked at how easily Heun was landing all fight.

    Noons put a clinic on Diaz last time. Hopefully Diaz shows up how he has recently.

    Lets's face it diaz competition has been shiit. Only decent fighter was Zaromskis and he was highly over rated after winning the DREAM tournament with all those head kicks.

    Muhsin Corbbrey
    Thomas Denny
    Frank Shamrock
    Scott Smith

    Wow...some of you guys are delusional or have swallowed the Nick Diaz hype train, hook line and sinker.

    or maybe some of you guys got all caught up in the "gangsta, I don't give a fu*k" tough guy Image of Nick Diaz.

    Nick Diaz has average striking at best...that loopy "unorthodox" striking won't do him a bit of good against KJ Noons.

    KJ Noons will use his superior boxing and fu*k up Diaz rather easily. It's going to look a lot like their first fight.

    lol, i don't know if Noons will win easily, but there is way too much hype for Diaz. The 7 fighters he's fought since losing to Noons can't even be rated in the top 20!! of there given weight class (only Zaromskis at the time) People get on Fedor for not consistently fighting top competition, but praise Diaz for beating up on cans like Shamrock and Scott Smith

    Nick had something done to his eye socket bone so he doesnt cut up as much right?

    Diaz may not have fought the best competition, but who has KJ fought? Also this fight is at 170 which is a clear advantage to Diaz no matter what anyone says. Another thing to look at is how much Diaz has dominated his fights. KJ has pulled off some close decisions, while Diaz has dominated and finished his last 7 fights. Just looking at KJ's last few fights, his opponents have lost like there last 4 in a row or beat nobodies. If Diaz has been fighting top 20s, Kj has been fighting top 100s.

    noons seems to have the skills to cause problems for nick. and its not even wrestling which kills nick. While i do believe the cut stoppage was a little shady, noons was picking him apart and it seems like he can do it again.

    this should be a great fight as its clear that both fighters will have motivation to finish and finish strongly

    thank god for hype and gullible fight fans who think "attitude" equals fight talent. This should inflate the odds a little in favor of Nick Diaz.

    Hopefully he'll come in around -200 and Kj noons will be +145 or somewhere in that region. I will be cashing in on KJ Noons and all the Diaz followers will be scratching their heads, wondering what the hell happened.

    Many MMA fighters delude themselves into thinking they are world class strikers and they choose to stand with notably better strikers and wake up on the canvas.

    Diaz will follow the same fate.

    I still have to laugh at the notion of, "Diaz is awesome striker!!
    With what? those loopy punches and those shoe shining strikes?

    And other funny notion is, "Oh my God!!! nick diaz threw 200 strikes in that round alone!!!"

    Who the fu*k cares? that means he isn't very accurate and his shots aren't very effective.

    Examine his fight stance...he leaves himself wide open all the time. KJ Noons with this boxing background will expose this rather quickly and effectively.

    But again, I would just like to thank all of you Nick Diaz fans who think, "Nick Diaz is hard core and gangsta" and believe he will prevail because of this.

    I'm on Diaz -175. This isn't a boxing match and Diaz has the advantage, especially at 170. It has nothing to do with the fact that he has one of the best MMA personalities for TV, he's simply a much better all around MMA artist.
