It seems the EliteXC champion is unhappy with EliteXC. In his interview on "The NHB Show", the champ expressed his displeasure with everything from pay to the "respect factor". Now MMAWeekly is breaking the news story that EliteXC wants a Noons-Diaz rematch on their CBS card Oct. 4th and the Noons camp won't even call them back.

K.J. Noons came on "The No Holds Barred Show" a couple weeks back, we asked him about a Diaz Rematch, and he instead expressed his displeasure with the organization.

“I don't know, I'm not really happy with EliteXC right now. A lot of politics.”, states Noons to the "The NHB Show".

“You start loving the sport and you just want to fight and then you get to the point where you can pay your bills and then all of the sudden it's all this politics and this mumbo-jumbo stuff.

“You would think they would take care of their champ”, continues Noons. “Getting treated like dirt, I gotta get my fights, and get out of this maniac crazy of contracts and just go forward.”

Since the interview, the relationship between EliteXC and the Noons camp has worsened. Now that the Diaz-Noons rematch is a concrete possibility, there is no communication between the two parties.

“Nick Diaz is the No. 1 contender. K.J. Noons should step up and be the champion that we think he is and take this fight. Nick Diaz will take this fight any place, anywhere,” Shaw told MMAWeekly.com. “(Noons’ management) won’t even return our calls.

“I don’t understand it. This fight on CBS is maximum exposure and the opportunity for maximum sponsorship dollars, way more than he could make on Showtime. At this point, I question his management.”

“His manager doesn’t want us talking to him directly. Who knows what K.J. even knows about the situation, but his management is holding us hostage.”

“Hopefully K.J. wants the fight and hopefully he will instruct his management to take the fight,” commented Shaw. “K.J. signed a contract. All we want is for him to honor that contract, fight on Oct. 4 on CBS, and prove that he’s the champion we think he is. Right now, he’s not representing us as the EliteXC champion.”

Regardless of the disconnect, it will be a shame for the fans not to see a Noons-Diaz rematch. Both are excellent fighters and hopefully the communication problems can be resolved before the Oct. 4th promotional deadline
