Add EliteXC to the list of those who are tired of “Nature Boy” KJ Noons antics. Not that anyone blames him for not wanting to fight Nick Diaz under the best of circumstances, and certainly after all of the trash talking he’s done:

The good folks at DREAM have updated their website with the poster for DREAM.6. While some Japanese MMA fanboys scrutinize the DREAM posters like Kennedy conspiracy theorists pour over the Zapruder film, in reality they’d put Bruce Lee vs. Chuck Norris on these if they thought if they could get away with it:

A lot of us who came up during the “territory” era of pro wrestling got their first taste of in-ring action by stumbling across our local ...

Unbelievable. “Nature Boy” KJ Noons is channeling early 1980’s Ric Flair trying to become the “arrogant heel” of MMA. In a conversation at FightHype he basically says that he’s run roughshod over the MMA world to such a degree that he’s thinking about turning his attention to boxing fulltime. Sure, he realizes ...
