Noons is coming off a split decision win over a tough Conor Huen (12-8 MMA) and is itching to add to his highlight reel and make a good name for himself on his way to a possible Diaz Re-match or a shot at the Strikeforce belt. He has yet to finish a fight since his return to MMA from boxing and has been training hard at City Boxing in San Diego.

August 12, 2010   Joshua Wood (Editor in Chief)   No comments

Stikeforce CEO Scott Coker announced earlier this week that the promotion would return home to San Jose, California for an October 9th event. The event will be televised on Showtime and will feature the organization’s middleweight grand prix. The event will take place at the HP Pavilion, which last witnessed Fedor vs. Werdum on June 26.

Details of the tournament are still being worked out regarding the format and who will be participating. The format will either be a same-night four man tourney, or an eight man bracket completed over the course of two events. Which direction they go in will likely hinge on the California State Athletic Commission and whether they approve an eight man format.
