If it was going to be an immediate rematch, that'd be fine, but there has to be some sort of punishment for not making weight last time.

This would be why. Sign on to a fight with Nick Diaz and get your fight cancelled, rescheduled, or just plain too much outside drama. Didn’t Nick say nobody wants to fight him. This would be why.

Truth is this match was never officially confirmed and if anyone thinks a guy should have to defend his belt just over a month later, they are insane.

Rich was responding to the guy who posted right before him who suggested an injury may be the cause of the fight not happening. @#13 Look at the context.

To cancel a title fight at DREAM with one of the greatest fighters on the Planet and not get the fight you thought you were getting, I would tell Elite to go F themselves. I am furious, and I am not even fighting. Shaw plays like he cares about his fighters, but he is no better than any other promoter. Personally, I would love it if Nick fails his drug test and can't fight on the card, strictly to screw over Elite. I want Diaz vs Sakurai really badly. Hope he didn't burn bridges with DREAM.

AND it's obvious that he doesn't want to fight Diaz.. and i don't think it's for the reasons he keeps giving.. because.. if you have such hatred for one man [i.e. Noons' hatred for Diaz] why would you avoid fighting him JUST because there's "better" guys out there to fight.. and right now.. there ISN'T EVEN better guys out there.. sooooo... that's not even a legitimate argument.. i’m no keyboard warrior.. don’t worry..

I understand that some fighters duck opponents cough*TITO*cough but I hate when their might be a reason like an injury or something that we don't know about so everyone jumps to calling Noons a pussy. He deserves a little more respect than that. I just hate keyboard warriors.

Just a denial that it is planned. And given that it's still over a month away and Nick is likely in training camp for a fight in July no matter what happens, I'm not ready to discount this possibility yet. Whoever MMA Mania talked to also clearly wasn't ready to announce who WOULD be fighting Noons, or if Noons will even be fighting. It could still happen.

Seriously, there is no one on EliteXC's current roster to challenge Noons. Malaipet? Paul Daley, if he comes out of retirement and wants to fight at 155? A revenge rematch with Krazy Horse, who could possibly be in jail right now? I think Diaz is the most sensible opponent given the recent hype and the less-than-spectacular end due to a cut. I can only speculate that either Noons or Shaw doesn't like the possibility of a loss to Diaz. @#3 Haha!
