Diaz vs Noons is going to be epic.

It better be!
Take a technically skilled boxer/kick-boxer that has made a near seamless transition to MMA, match him up against one of the most unorthodox strikers in MMA who also happens to be a legit Gracie black belt, throw in a serious dislike for one another, a real grudge match, two totally contrasting styles...
What more can you say? Who hasn't been waiting for this one?!
