Showtime officials have plucked from their EliteXc video archives the first fight between Nick Diaz and K.J. Noons.
The fighters, of course, meet Oct. 9 when Diaz puts his Strikeforce welterweight title on the line against Noons at “Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Noons II.”
The first meeting, held in the now-defunct EliteXC promotion, airs as part of an hour-long special on Showtime 2 this Friday at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
