Nick Diaz vs. KJ Noons - TKO

Nick Diaz met KJ Noons for the EliteXC lightweight championship in 2007. Although Diaz was touted as the favorite, the underdog shone brighter on that fateful night.

Diaz relied heavily on his wrestling and incessantly tried to take the fight to the mats. After a series of unsuccessful attempts, Diaz managed to take Noons to the ground. However, he suffered a deep gash over his eye after Noons tagged him with a knee.

The referee subsequently called for a timeout to get Diaz checked by a doctor. Moments after the ringside medico cleared the Stockton native, Noons sent Diaz to the mats with a stunning right hook. The strike opened yet another gash above Diaz's other eye.
