KJ Noons Tells His Side of the Story: "I Am Tired of Being Bent Over by EliteXC With No Vaseline"

28 Aug 2008 12:37:58 PDT

Written by Luke Thomas
Noons vs Diaz or Noons vs EliteXC? Elite XC offered me a fight on the first CBS show, but only if I signed a new long-term contract. Instead of promoting their best fighters on CBS, you have to be on a long term contract for them to promote you. That was not our deal.

Written by Kid Nate
This division remains a mess! Despite a wealth of talented fighters and seven major promotions (UFC, WEC, EliteXC, DREAM, WVR, Afflictiong and Strikeforce) booking top fighters, there's more confusion than clarity at 185. First off, Anderson Silva has cleaned out the UFC middleweigh...

• Striker did a great job putting over Dreamer's worth as a wrestler and character, but his match with Chavo Guerrero was just OK. Was not that surprised to see Chavo get the duke in this one. • Finlay vs. Mike Knox was hard-hitting and had a good backstory. I think there is more potential in the Kno...

The main event of the night was The Undertaker vs. Edge in a Hell In a Cell match. It was a great match. Both men, Undertaker and Edge performed great. I never really like Edge and I always get bored watching the wrestler Edge, but I actually enjoyed him in this match. Edge pulled on some really great...

Did you like EliteXC's first, or second CBS show better? It may be more a question of what more people like - including casual fans. However, I tend to believe that keeping the hardcore base of MMA fans satisfied is extremely important for the sport in the long-term. If you are one who belie...
