Following KJ Noons' 48-second EliteXC 160-pound title defense against Yves Edwards in June 2008, he was considered to be one of the rising lightweight stars in MMA. But failed contract negotiations with the organization and a desire to further his professional boxing career stunted his growth as a mixed martial artist immensely. EliteXC eventually stripped him of his title before the organization folded in October 2008. Noons hasn't competed in MMA since.
