Gracie Jujitsu ace and the favorite son of Stockton, CA Nick Diaz faces off against the last man to beat him boxer KJ Noons tonight on Strikeforce. Noons brings a strong disliking for the Diaz Bros. into the ring tonight as well as the confidence that comes with being ranked the #154 best Middleweight boxer in the world according to BOXREC.
The last time the two men fought Noons dominated on the feet. He cut up Diaz's face so bad the fight had to be stopped. He dropped Diaz in the fight and Diaz was totally unsuccessful in getting the fight to the ground and into his world. The question is will this fight play out in the same way.
My cystal ball is fuzzy but I am going to have to say that Noons will not emerge the victor this time around. Diaz striking has improved but I don't think he will need it. Caesar Gracie is a great coach as his three pupils are the three current Strikeforce champs at 155, 170 and 185lbs. Gracie will have a good game plan in place this time around and I look for Diaz to get the fight to the ground and sub Noons.
No matter what happens, win or lose one thing is for certain. Diaz is "no punk bitch", he is reppin the 209, and he is still super pissed off.
