KJ Noons insists for his next fight he’ll have his hair cut much shorter, noting the length was a factor against Nick Diaz. During the post fight press conference he reveals that he broke his left hand and his jaw in the fight. He has no definite plans for his Strikeforce future, whether it be back at 155 or staying at 170.
Diaz (@3:59) felt he possessed the superior skills standing and on the ground against Noons. He felt his indecisiveness was a factor on where to take the fight.

Women’s Strikeforce 135 pound champ Marloes Coenen insists she didn’t feel opponent Sarah Kaufman tapping after sinking in the armbar. She was surprised when the referee stopped the fight not realizing she had won. Coenen felt “really good” and that the weight cut to 135 didn’t hurt her strength.
