(Noons celebrates a TKO [via cut] victory over Diaz, which he is sure will shut Nick up for good. Yep, he’s definitely heard the last of this bit of business.)
KJ Noons may have temporarily abandoned his dreams of boxing greatness to return to MMA, but you can forget any hopes you had of seeing him jump right back in against Nick Diaz in Strikeforce. Noons’s first fight back will instead take place at Dream.13 on March 22, where he’ll face Brazilian lightweight Andre “Dida” Amado. For those of you who don’t know, “Dida” is a Muay Thai specialist who is 6-3-1 in his six-year career, and he’s coming off three straight losses, including a submission defeat to Gesias Cavalcante and a TKO loss to Eddie Alvarez.
In other words, this fight is not exactly a leap back into the shark tank of MMA. It’s more like easing into a hot bath filled with some mildly pissed off lake trout. But hey, maybe that’s what Noons needs to get reacquainted with all this kicking and kneeing and grappling stuff. It has been almost two years since his last MMA fight, a TKO victory over Yves Edwards. Maybe he needs to beat up a Brazilian in Japan, get comfortable again, and then it’s back to the U.S. to show Nick Diaz that he is totally not scared, homey. That’s how it would go down in our perfect world, anyway.

i am not impressed with the Dream 13 card so far. Amusingly, when people say this, the fights seem to turn out awesome just to keep you guessing. So set your DVRs, boys.

Give credit to the Diaz brothers... They basically wrote the book on raining on parades... Many of Kanye's techniques comes straight from the Diaz philosophy... All this would not be possible without KJ...

Didas only losses are to kikuno, eddie and JZ, its not like hes some TUF bum, I wouldn't look past him so easily.

Dida can win this fight. I hope KJ is taking him as lightly as CP because I would love to watch KJ lose. His fight with Krazyhorse is still one of my faves :)

@ halfbreed23 Ditto man. KJ getting KTFO by Bennett is also one of my favs. So Coleman can get cut but KJ can keep bringing home a paycheck. ....this ain't a fair world we live in.

This guy has been out for awhile. We'll find out what condition he is in. And if all goes well, maybe we'll finally see that Diaz rematch.
Thu, 02/25/10 - 11:51
I agree wit one two I would say Dida is the favorite in this fight.

If and when they do rematch, it's gonna be a great fight. King Carl's boxing made Nick's standup look Canseco-esque last time out, but Nick's improved leaps and bounds since then and has been white hot as of late. Throw in the fact Nick hates KJ more than he hates stupid ass drug tests, homie, and there you have it. Epic!
