WatchKalibRun has an interview up they did with K.J. Noons recently that’s a pretty solid read. Aside from having one of the coolest names in MMA, the fighter talks about why he’s been boxing and how much he’d like to kill Nick Diaz (my words, not his). Below is a taste, but if you want to check out the whole interview, go on over to WKR.

WKR: Why did you turn down a title fight against Strikeforce lightweight champion Josh Thomson?

K.J.: I had already committed to some boxing fights. So when the boxing fights are over, that would be a very exciting fight I think because Josh is a good fighter.

WKR: Do you regret that decision?

K.J.: No, I feel I am young in MMA, and I had committed to some boxing fights and know that offer would still be on the table after I am done with the boxing fights.

WKR: Do you want to fight Nick Diaz again?

K.J.: There is some bad blood, drama, and history between us, so I think people would want to see it again. I’m down for it.

WKR: With Diaz’s status within Strikeforce, would you be willing to take another fight before facing Diaz?

K.J.: It doesn’t matter to me, whenever I have a date for a fight, I’m going to train hard and make sure I come ready to fight and give the people a great fight and what they paid to see.

Noons is 7-2 and has only fought once in MMA since he cut up Nick Diaz’s face in November of ‘07. It’ll be good to see him back in action.
