When EliteXC announced they had signed Nick Diaz to a new contract earlier this week, it was revealed that Diaz’s next fight would be for the EliteXC 160lb title. At the time no official opponent was named as a challenger.
Today, EliteXC announced via ProElite.com that Diaz will face Karl-James “KJ” Noons, a upcoming kick-boxing and Muay Thai fighter.
Noons has fought twice in EliteXC losing to Charles “Krazy Horse” Bennett via TKO and most recently defeating Edson Berto by KO in July. Noons splits his time between his MMA career and a professional boxing career.
