Noons to Defend Title Versus Edwards
Posted by Chad Edward on February 22nd, 2008EliteXC 160-Pound Champion Karl James Noons will make his first defense versus Yves Edwards April 26 in Honolulu.
Noons, 6-2, TKO’d Nick Diaz on cuts last November to become the first EliteXC 160-pound champion.
Edwards, 33-13-1, knocked out James Edson Berto last weekend via flying knee to make three straight wins after a three-fight winless streak.
Nick Diaz has been taunting Noons for a rematch after the brawler’s controversial loss on cuts, accusing Noons of ducking him.
Noons and Edwards have been friends for awhile.
