Ever since KJ Noons signed with Strikeforce, the plan all along was for him to at some point renew his rivalry with Nick Diaz.

“I told Scott [Coker] when I came to Strikeforce I want to fight the best guys,” Noons told reporters Tuesday in a media call. “And this was a match they wanted to make in the future, and 160 was hard to make back then, and this was a fight that we talked about in the beginning that we wanted to make. I just had to get back into the MMA scene and win some fights.”
