Henderson consistently put Cerrone on his back while swinging power shots from top position and avoiding an arm triangle in round four and a Kimura in the final round.

Henderson and WEC lightweight champion “Worm” Jamie Varner (16-3) will now fight to consolidate the titles.

Lightweight Dave Jansen (14-0) won a three-round UD over “Cleat” Richard Crunkilton, Jr. (16-3) by judges’ scores of 30-27 and 29-28 twice.  Jansen was debuting in the WEC.

Featherweight “Tiger” Yves Jabouin (12-5) fought ferociously in his WEC debut, but Rafael Assuncao (13-1) eeked out a split decision victory by judges’ scores of 30-27 and 29-28 for Assuncao and 30-27 for Jabouin.

Bantamweight Eddie Windeland (14-6-1) won a three-round UD over “Mangler” Manny Tapia (10-3-1) by judges’ scores of 30-27 three times.  Tapia has lost both fights since his WEC bantamweight title challenge versus Miguel Torres (36-2) at WEC 37 in Las Vegas last December.

“I’m the champion and have the EliteXC belt,” Noons declared after his impressive victory.  “I’ll fight anybody!”

Noons may be destined for a rematch with the fighter EliteXC created the 160-pound division to crown as champion, Nick Diaz (17-7).

Diaz TKO’d Muhsin Corbbrey (8-3) in the third round.

“If they say Nick deserves a rematch,” Noons said, “then we can fight and I’ll beat him again…if he can make 160 pounds.”

Diaz weighed-in at 169 pounds for his fight versus Corbbrey, originally a 160-pound match-up.

“He must have weighed 200 pounds,” Corbbrey, who was warned before the weigh-ins that Diaz wouldn’t make the limit, said.  “He out-fought me and I respect him for that.  But, he wore me out when he leaned on me.”

“I hated coming in that heavy,” Diaz said.  “I worked very hard to cut the weight; but, it just wouldn’t come off.  I will and can still make 160 pounds and will fight KJ any time, any place.”

Diaz is yo-yoing between EliteXC’s 160-pound division and DREAM’s welterweight division, where he’s scheduled to fight “Mach” Hayato Sakurai(32-8-2) for DREAM’s title.

Notably, Diaz was cut beneath his left eye versus Corbbrey despite surgery he had after his loss to Noons to file down his ocular bones and reduce cutting.

After the main event, the cage hosted a scuffle between the Noons and Diaz camps.

“Nick has no class, he’s a bum, a piece of shit,” Noons blasted, “and he and his team disrespected my family and I with their gestures and trash talk and tried to upstage our fight.”

Diaz apologized, “I’m sorry about what happened in the cage afterward, but I didn’t start it.  His guys were talking shit to us.”

In other fights, ICON Middleweight Champion Kala Kolohe Hose (6-2), comping off his biggest career victory over “New York Bad Ass” Phil Baroni (10-10), was upset in a rear naked choke by Bubba McDaniel (12-4) in just 41 seconds.

Middleweight “Ninja” Murilo Rua (16-8-1) served Aussie Tony Bonello (16-1-1) his first loss in a first-round TKO at 3:16.

“I get criticized by people who don’t think I have good striking skills so I’m happy to win the way I did,” Rua said.  “This fight was dedicated to my baby boy who is due in late August or early September.”

Light heavyweight Rafael Feijao(6-1) TKO’d Wayne cole (11-7) at 2:47 of round one.

Heavyweight “Pee Wee” Dave Herman(11-0) TKO’d “H20″ Ron Waterman (15-6-2) at 2:19 of round one with a roundhouse kick that turned “H20′s” legs to water.

Mark Oshiro(11-1) TKO’d “Red Bull” Chris Willems (2-2-1) at 2:12 of round one.

Kaleo Kwan (9-8) won a UD over Mike Aina (9-7-1).

PJ Dean (1-3-1) and Dean Lista (3-1-1) fought to a majority draw.

Corbbrey also failed to make weight at 163.5 pounds.  He has agreed to fight at the catch weight of 168 pounds and will take a portion of Diaz’s purse.

Diaz was aware that he wouldn’t make weight and contacted EliteXC officials and Corbbrey’s camp in advance of the weigh-in Friday.

Diaz’s manager, Cesar Gracie, also announced Diaz has verbally agreed to fight Marcelo Garcia (0-1) in Tokyo 29 April.

Diaz hasn’t fought since loosing an EliteXC 160-pound title bout versus “KJ” Karl James Noons (6-2) due to cuts last November.

Diaz was scheduled to fight “The Korean Icepick” Jae Suk Lim (9-4) in San Jose last month, but was denied a license to fight by the California State Athletic Commission.

Corbbrey would appear in his third EliteXC event versus Diaz.  In October he submitted then-undefeated Bobby McMaster (7-2) in a guillotine choke in the first round.

Gracie said American Top Team’s Garcia agreed to fight Diaz at DREAM.2, but is currently reconsidering.  DREAM has not officially announced the fight.

Garcia debuted in MMA last October in a TKO loss to Korean Dae Won Kim (4-3).
