Saturday, Nick Diaz and KJ Noons both went head to head in San Jose, CA. Both fighters where more ready than ever and have been in some serious training for this fight.

Dominick Cruz, Gilbert Melendez, Babalu, Dan Henderson, Jake Shield and many more came out to see this fight between the Mulisha Fighters. Team manager and MMA fighter Erik Apple stopped by both locker rooms making sure Diaz and Noons where ready to go, minutes before the fight.

As the 5 min warning was announced both Diaz and Noons make a tunnel visioned walked straight to the ring, ready for a blood match! As the crowed cheered and the bell struck, the first round was official.

Diaz landing early with slapping leg kicks. Diaz puts a jab in Noons’ face and Noons answers with a combination to the body. Right hand from Diaz takes the legs from beneath Noons, and Diaz chases him to the mat. Diaz passes to side control on Noons left side and ties him up with head-and-arm control.

Noons pushes off and creates some space, then finds his way back to his feet with two minutes left. Right hook connects for Diaz, and he begins pouring on more punches. Noons counter-punches largely missing, but he does land a solid right to the body. Diaz working his jab and jawing away at Noons, who’s still missing with the bulk of his punches. All three judges scored 10-9 Diaz.

In the second round Noons lands an overhand left and cuts Diaz open in the first minute of the round. During their last fight the massive cuts and damage to Diaz from Noons called the fight. Diaz shoots a long shot and Noons runs from the takedown attempt.

Noons starting to string together combination’s, getting inside with his jab. Noons footwork was amazing, as he avoided all of Diaz’s take downs. Blood is flowing into the right eye of Diaz as he tries to reestablish his range. Noons looks far more comfortable than in the first, walking right up to Diaz and landing hard combination’s, effective right hands, and jump knees to the body. All three judge’s scored 10-9 Noons.

Diaz and Noons both had bloody faces and the fight wasn’t over yet. As the 5th round carried and our Mulisha Maiden ring girl Kelly went back to her seat the bell rang and the last round was called.

Diaz was putting hard punches on Noons and adding some slapping head kicks to the face. Noons leaps forward with a hard left hook which finds its mark. After Noons comes over the top with a solid right, Diaz tries to tie up.

As both Diaz and Noons corner men shouted the last 20 seconds of the fight Noons and Diaz both taunted each other wanting more. The official score of 48-47, 49-47 and 49-46 for the winner by unanimous decision, Nick Diaz. Congratulations to Nick Diaz on his victory against KJ Noons!
