Bummer. But neither had to much to offer at this stage in their careers. Though I do think KJ still could've put on some good fights in the UFC. Joe Diesels latest run was super disappointing. Not surprising cuts at all.

I wish them luck wherever they may go.

Joe Riggs was shot anyway, literally and figuratively.

I wish Riggs would retire, and I mean that with all respect.

KJ was kind of disappointing in the UFC. It's sad for him but it's not surprising

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

Damn!!! Not Diesel

Joe Riggs was shot anyway, literally and figuratively.

That shit was pretty much the final nail in his UFC coffin

 

[Fahcough]

This is still fresh in memory. Hope Noons gets picked up quick

Joe Riggs was shot anyway, literally and figuratively.

he probably attempted to sign a new deal and dislocated something before he could finish

Noons still has some game left.

 

[FenoxSky]

I'm not surprised, motherfuckers.

 

[FenoxSky]

I think Noons problems are psychological, fighting a lower level of competition will probably do him good.

That shit looks gnarly. Glad he recovered from that.

He's lucky he SURVIVED that. lol

 

[Judge Lance Ito]

Obviously Noons wanted to go back to Scott Coker given his last performance.

 

[KONE]

Joe Riggs was shot anyway, literally and figuratively.

I didn't even know Riggs was still around right up until his fight with Camozzi where he got dropped by a jab and finished within 30 seconds

 

[RoadKing Custom]

KJ dodged a bullet here.. (wink wink)

the Nick Diaz curse strikes again. both those fighters have bullshit wins over Nick. if you look at the whole card that fight (Diazz vs Riggs) you find that most if not all of those fighters at UFC 57 had terrible luck after that. the DVD release even had problems. Nick Diaz has that "don" mexican housewives talk about. you fuck with him and you get bad luck for a good while.

Haaaaaa for real.

Dammit i loved watching noons. Didnt he lose to some controversial decisions? My take is if you shouldve won some decisions then it cant hurt your ufc future.

 

[shonuf]

both seem like good guys, but i see why the UFC made that choice.

I wouldn't mind seeing them vs some new up and comers in a Bellator or WSOF.
