KJ Noons has refused a rematch with Nick Diaz. Noons won the EliteXC title after defeating Diaz by doctor's stoppage due to a cut. Diaz subsequently went in for plastic surgery after a specialist determined that the sharpness of the bones above his eyes would lead to more cuts and make it impossible for him to pursue a successful MMA career. The surgery was a complete success.
EliteXC suggested a rematch just as the UFC had when Vitor Belfort defeated Randy Couture for their title due to a cut, however KJ and his camp have now responded that they do not want anything to do with a rematch. Diaz will still be fighting at the event against another EliteXC fighter, most likely Muhsin Corbbrey (6-2).
I can't wait to hear the spin Noons camp puts on this one. I can't understand how EliteXC will allow their champion to decide who he wants to fight instead of who they tell him. Does he just refuse all fights till he gets someone he can easily defeat?

KJ Noons Declines Rematch with Diaz - MMA
The fighters he's beaten aren't even household names in their own household.
