Karl Noons

(Nate and Nick Diaz; July 4th, 1993)

Karl Noons, Sr. on the Diaz Brothers situation: "We were just enjoying the moment. I heard Nick in the left-hand corner trying to push into the interview and try to dis. I retorted back that, you know, that's uncool and back and forth, and next thing I know [Nate Diaz] throws a bottle at me after throwing his middle fingers. And then pushing from them came and then I just chased him on the ring, hit him, and then I came back in and grabbed Nick. Bottom line is, major disrespect. [It was] the last thing I ever thought would happen, you know, after my son winning a great fight. Bottom line is, on record, those Diaz brothers are just punks from Stockton and they've got no respect. They're just punks, and I hope we don't see them out tonight."

Nick Diaz, by way of rebuttal: "I was there to hype up the rematch when KJ's dad tried to attack us. I think that when he's that drunk he should stay at home and watch the fights from his couch."
