Following in the year of upsets KJ Noons effectively picked apart Nick Diaz's offense, and delivered damaging punches which cut Diaz at the end of round 1, effectively ending the fight. Diaz is prone to cuts and was extremely dissapointed by the outcome, raising his middle fingers as he exited the cage, upon hearing the news. Diaz insisted that he could see and that he should be able to continue, but the doctor felt he couldn't. It seems since Takanori Gomi inflicted so much damage to Diaz during their fight, that perhaps Diaz is now more susceptible to eye injuries thanks to a broken orbital bone.
The other headliner fight, Kimbo Slice Vs Bo Cantrell was most disappointing. Kimbo effectively used the cage to corner Bo, checked a leg kick well, and delivered a combination followed by a forearm which struck Cantrell behind the ear. Cantrell collapsed and immediately started tapping the mat, as Kimbo delivered some follow up punches until Cantrell was saved by the referee. This was supposed to be a test for Kimbo, but now he is left with as much credibility as when he went in. We know he's a hard worker and Bas puts all his faith in the world in him as a trainer, but he still hasn't really proven anything to establish himself in the organization. I am most disappointed in Cantrell, he simply just gave up, immediately. I honestly feel bad for Kimbo for having to fight someone with such little heart.
Here are all the fights.
