After an in-ring skirmish on June 14, a potential K.J. Noons (7-2) vs. Nick Diaz (18-7) lightweight title match became Elite XC's most-anticipated rematch. The promotion earmarked the bout for its Oct. 4 CBS show from the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, FL. But not only have they been unable to make the match, the promotion claims they can't even find their lightweight champion to find out why. "I'm drinking milk and looking on the carton and see a picture of K.J. Noons," joked Elite XC matchmaker Jared Shaw, when noting the problem. "Nick Diaz is the No. 1 contender. The people want to see this fight." Shaw put the onus of blame on Noons' management team, saying haven't even been able to directly talk with Noons. "His management won't even return our calls," said Shaw, who was still hopeful the fight could be salvaged on the show. "It's money," he said. "It's always about money."

The only thing that can PROVE that Diaz is better than KJ Noons is if Noons shows up....But since he is so deep in hiding that his own people can't find him or get in touch with him it pretty much tells us the even he knows he got lucky (or paid off the ring doc) in that first fight.
